refrões

A refrão, also known as a chorus in English, is a section of a song that is repeated. It typically contains the main lyrical and melodic theme of the composition. The refrão serves as a unifying element, often providing a memorable hook that helps listeners connect with and recall the song. In many musical structures, the refrão appears after each verse, creating a sense of familiarity and reinforcing the song's central message or emotion.

The function of a refrão extends beyond mere repetition. It can evolve slightly in its delivery or instrumentation across different occurrences, adding subtle layers of meaning or intensity. Composers use the refrão to create an emotional anchor, allowing the verses to explore different narratives or perspectives while the refrão returns to a core idea. This repetitive nature makes refrões highly effective in popular music, contributing significantly to a song's catchiness and its ability to resonate with a wide audience. Its presence is a common characteristic across various musical genres, from pop and rock to folk and even some classical forms.
