Abstract

This work broaches and problematizes the different phases of the artistic career of the composer and performer Tom Zé, located between the release of his first LP in 1968 and the late 1990¿s. Establishing as central focus his music production, conceived with a critical posture towards certain canons and mass song patterns consolidated in the market and with experimental creative practices analogous to the repertoire of the postwar avant-garde, we investigated the tense relationship established between his experimental aesthetic project and the cultural industry. In this sense, the research tried to position the discourses and four discs of Tom Zé in the respective historical contexts and configurations of the phonographic industry, seeking to better understand the specifics of his insertion in the popular music market, his acting strategies, the sense of his aesthetical options, as well to investigate the transformations occurred in his aesthetical project throughout his career (AU)
