Abstract

In this academic work I examine the relation of João Gilberto with samba and traditional Brazilian singing, particularly the syncopated samba style. Through this representative of a style that brought Brazilian music to the center of the cultural industry, I will be searching for continuities and developments of the samba made in the outskirts of emerging Brazilian cities, promoted by that style. Inverting the orientation, frequently biographic of his traditional bibliography, I will be looking for new developments brought by João Gilberto on tones, durations, intensities and timbres. The strategy of this inversion does not intend to ignore the biographical studies already done, but to foster a new environment for discussion with a solid bases as well, in which conditions are created to dialogue with the traditional bibliography by a new bias: one of musicology.
