| Abstract | |
This work is a result of the analysis of João Bosco¿s LP Tiro de Misericórdia (RCA Victor, 1977). All the songs were composed by João Bosco and Aldir Blanc, and feature aspects of the suburban routine of the city of Rio de Janeiro, with a focus on the happy and cruel bohemia that characterizes these areas. Through the songs, the composers assemble a narrative mosaic about love, dreams, memory, melancholy, religiosity and violence, built from the codes, symbols and values of popular culture. The LP¿s unity is given by the relationship between the first track, "Gênesis (Parto)" (birth) and the last one, that names the album, "Tiro de Misericórdia" (mercy shot). The main goal of the research is to verify in which way this duo¿s work translates the idea, built in the 1970s, that the popular culture and, specifically, the Brazilian "malandragem" are formed in a strategy field of resistance to the illegitimate social and political order of the military dictatorship regime in Brazil (AU) | |
