Abstract

Due to the amount of music currently available, classifying songs manually is an arduous task. In this sense, automatic music genre classification is a pertinent approach, helping to organize, search, retrieve and recommend music. Although there are traditional databases related to the music genre classification, these databases only considered traditional genres, such as Jazz and Classical Music.  Also, they ignore regional genres, such as those of Brazilian culture, for example. Thus, the objective of this study is to present a database for the automatic Brazilian music genres classification. For that, we used Spotify to identify music related to the genres Axé, Bossa Nova, Brega, Choro, Forró, Frevo, Funk Carioca, Maracatu, Música Sertaneja, Pagode, and Samba. As a result, we developed a database with 1,907 records related to these genres, and compared this database with six other databases, identifying that the proposed base exceeds four bases in the number of records and consists of the most comprehensive about the total number of records genders considered. Finally, we provide the basis for further studies and encourage its application in research involving Data Mining and Deep Learning.
