the 1990's saw an overall decline in popularity but it now had an established household in the musical landscape that allowed room for some revival periods.

one of the most notable examples of these was portrait by the band 'mamonas assasinas' (killer breasts) who became an international hit and were tragically killed in an air accident as their plane crashed  on their first international tour in portugal.

its adaptability to mutate and evolve by capturing elements from the latest music hits eventually led to ramifications like brega pop, brega chic, and tecnobrega.
