Abstract

The Brazilian music scene of the 1960s had has structured by appearance of so-called Brazilian Popular Music - MPB. Besides innovating the musical language, the MPB presented progressist projects to modify the nation, which contributed to the development of national-popular structures of feeling. Among the composers who stood out in this scene, Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso had a significant notability. The thesis aims to analyze ¿ through a socio-historical and cultural materialist approach ¿ some songs of these composers between the 60's and 90's to unveil the nation's representations that they embody, as well as their aesthetic and ideological projects. The main hypothesis leading the study recognizes the MPB songs as representative of national projects that tend to decline from the 80's. Furthermore, the MPB has been produced into a new structure of feeling in which the idea of social changes and collective project is not in the agenda. Although the social meaning of the songs analysed in the thesis presents different aspects, they have lost the historical ground to synthesize important problems of contemporary Brazilian experience (AU)
