Abstract

This work studies the history of the band Black Rio, formed in the mid 1970s, whose production is characterized by a fusion of multiple musicalities. Through musical analysis of a sample of the repertoire recorded by the band, it was verified the presence of characteristic elements of Brazilian genres such as samba, choro and baião, merged with components of jazz, soul and funk. The research found that the procedures adopted by the musicians in compositions, re--?readings, arrangements and instrumentations produced a peculiar sound result. It is a hybrid sonority that, in a certain way, expresses the emergence of a new sensibility in a Brazilian historical context marked by the presence of an authoritarian political regime, by the development and integration of the cultural industry and by the advent of new generational and ethnical identities (AU)
