Abstract

An historical-musical analysis is undertaken regarding the possibility of using song as a tool for political persuasion. Through the observation of parameters that shape the song, the aim is to understand elements jointly responsible for the engagement of the musical sign. This political treatment of artistic production is observed through an investigation conducted in a significant period of Brazil's republican history: the Estado Novo. The choice of this period is motivated by the establishment of a dictatorship and the tensioning of forces that resorted to tactics to enforce an ideological doctrine. A critical point in this process is the production of representations and images capable of accessing the imaginary of an idealized "Brazilian people." Ary Barroso's patriotic sambas, notably "Brazil," serve as our sources. His songs were taken as a means of shaping a discursive-musical speech that outlines and constructs what has been conventionally referred to as the "Brazilian people."
