João Gomes is from the small city of Serrita, in Pernambuco’s sertão, the semi-arid backcountry where the average temperature is 27.0 C (80 F). It’s the land of cowboys & the city is famous for its annual rodeo, the Vaquejada.

Serrita - the Cowboy City

Cowboys celebrate in Serrita. The colorful festival combines culture and religion in the heart of Brazil. Thousands of visitors come from the country.
