Abstract

Starting from the intellectual, symbolic and material disputes that intertwine both muscial genres heralded as the Nations identifiers: samba and choro, I analyse the constitution and reproduction of an artistic microcosm possessor of relatively autonomous aesthetic parameters. Covering a long historical period with the intent of showing that the densification of institutions aimed at the sheltering of popular music ensues a counterpart, one of stemming the engaged parties whose efforts aim at dissociating the popular musical productions between the ones they regard as authentic from the inauthentic, a grouping which I denominate popular music intelligentsia. This implied establishing under which conditions, when and through the action of which actors such microcosm was yielded, a space that managed to direct the appreciations and investements of everyone inserted in the urban popular music activity.
