Abstract

The work analyzes the process of modernization of brazilian popular music between 1958 and 1968, going by the trends of the bossa nova, song of protest, the "modern brazilian music", and the tropicalism. During this process emerged the acronym MPB, recognizable since 1965. The objective is to understand the genesis and identify the musical principles that have become legitimate parameters of music production known as MPB, as well as to analyze the autonomization process of a symbolic production field: the field of MPB.
