Cornélio Pires (July 13, 1884 in Tietê – February 17, 1958 in São Paulo) was a Brazilian journalist, writer, and folklorist.[1]
Cornélio Pires was one the most important scholars of the caipira people of Brazil and was the first to launch, in 78 rpm records, música caipira recordings, called today "roots music", as opposed to later sertanejo music.[2]
Cornélio Pires was a cousin of the writers Elsie Lessa, Orígenes Lessa, Ivan Lessa and Sergio Pinheiro Lopes. Cornélio is also the uncle of the spiritist journalist and thinker José Herculano Pires.
