Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social history of Raul Santos Seixas. In this regard, we analyze the efforts and resources undertaken by the singer in his attempt to achieve a national recognition during the 70s, in Rio de Janeiro overcoming a regional recognition already achieved in Bahia, and its attempt to return to an outstanding position in São Paulo during the 80s. In this course we will examine the possible influences in his musical production derived from the charges themselves to the musical fields in the 70 and 80, even as the various symbolic appropriations of his image in these years.
