The Brazilian Music Award (Brazilian Portuguese: Prêmio da Música Brasileira) (PMB) or BTG Pactual Brazilian Music Award (Brazilian Portuguese: BTG Pactual Prêmio da Música Brasileira) is a Brazilian music award created in 1987 by Zé Maurício Machline. It is regarded as the biggest and most important music award in Brazil, being the Brazilian equivalent to the Grammy Awards.[1] Its goal is to value the diversity and richness of Brazilian music, recognizing artists of different genres and styles. The award seeks to highlight the contribution of musicians and composers to Brazilian culture, promoting the appreciation and recognition of talents throughout the country.
Since 1993, with the exception of 2002 and 2009, it has been held at the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, one of the most important and traditional cultural venues in Brazil. Throughout its history, the BMA has paid tribute to great names in Brazilian music and has established itself as a prestigious event in the Brazilian cultural scene. At each edition, artists are awarded in various categories, reflecting the wide range of musical expressions present in the country.
The award was initially known by the names of its sponsors, being called Sharp Award (Brazilian Portuguese: Prêmio Sharp), Caras Award (Brazilian Portuguese: Prêmio Caras) and TIM Music Award (Brazilian Portuguese: Prêmio TIM de Música). In February 2025, in the 32nd edition, the award became known as BTG Pactual Brazilian Music Award (Brazilian Portuguese: BTG Pactual Prêmio da Música Brasileira).[2][3]
