Jorge & Mateus is a musical duo and one of the most famous interpreters of sertanejo music. The duo is composed of Goiás, Brazil-based vocalists Jorge Alves Barcelos (born August 27, 1982) and Mateus Pedro Liduário de Oliveira (born July 15, 1986). Both are from the city of Itumbiara, in the Brazilian state of Goiás and were initially signed to Universal Music label. The duo is currently signed to Som Livre label. Jorge studied law school and Matheus agronomy. Each of them started singing ''sertaneja'' songs individually, and their careers met in 2005. They started performing in bars and concert halls in Goiás regions. In 2007, they released their first album produced by a record company Universal Music called ''Jorge & Mateus ao Vivo em Goiânia'', a live concert with accompanying DVD. The song "Pode Chorar" became greatly celebrated and awarded Gold Record by ABPD, after having sold more than 100,000 paid downloads in Brazil. It was followed by "De tanto te querer" that was used in the soundtrack of the soap opera ''A Favorita'', da Rede Globo. In 2009, the duo released a second album titled ''O Mundo é Tão Pequeno'', again a live album and accompanying double DVD and in 2010 ''Ao Vivo Sem Cortes'' and ''Aí Já Era''. In 2015, their album ''Os Anjos Cantam'' was nominated for the 16th Latin Grammy Awards in the Best Sertaneja Music Album category.
