Abstract

I analyze the formation and development of the scenes of the \"paulista rock\" and \"carioca rock\" in the 1980s, in an attempt to understand what relations were established with their home cities, with foreign inflows and the strong tradition of popular music Brazilian built between 1930 and 1970. I aim also understand that the idea of \"Brazilian rock\" was consecrated in the end of the period, which elements were included and excluded from this category. Thus is revealed as the social, cultural and economic dynamics of each city printed its own diction to the scenes; sonorities and narratives were created and tensioned with the local context, rendering perspectives and different artistic languages. With the inclusion of groups in the music industry, concentrated in Rio de Janeiro, the artistic languages developed in each scene did not disappear, on the contrary, they reached in the midst of symbolic disputes among musicians, critics and music producers about what would a \"Brazilian rock\".
