| Abstract | |
The supposed existence of an evolutionary line guides a significant portion of narratives on Brazilian popular music. This evolutionary line would have begun in the generation of the 1930s and reached a maturity point in MPB produced in the 1960s. In this historic construction, a great portion of the popular music produced during the 1940s and 1950s ended up excluded. However, that was a time when several symbolic conflicts crossed the popular music. This gives signals of a segmentation of tastes and of a formation of a hierarchy of legitimacy in this scenario. Therefore, the present study intended to study this repertoire, looking for evidence of how that context built the distinctions between "good" and "bad" Brazilian popular music. To guide these discussions, we selected the repertoire interpreted by the singer Nelson Gonçalves as a central line. Then, we transcribed and analyzed some of his songs and paralleled them with others released in the same period. At last, we linked such analysis to a survey of music critics of the 1940s and 1950s in order to reveal some of the symbolic tensions that marked the musical production of the period (AU) | |
