Exploratory Notes on
Brazilian Popular Music Scenes: from post-punk to “Gaucho Rock” to “Funk
Ostentação”.
Dr Adriana Amaral (Unisinos, Brazil)
In
this talk I´ll discuss some peculiarities on different Popular Music Scenes and
its urban environments throughout Brazil. From the dark São Paulo Underground
post-punk and darkwave bands and electronic music scene in the southeast; to the
colorfoul and economic and comsuption cycle of Tecnobrega´s scene in the North
and the “Gaucho Rock” genre in the South. Since the 80s, Brazil has had a great
variety of different popular genres and scenes in its different cities with
different features and elements that sometimes connect them to the music
produced in other countries and, on the other side, have their particular
cultural meanings and contexts. The objective of this talk is to debate some
main discussions on the field of music, media and performance regarding
Brazilian Music Scenes and also to bring some details on the research that is
being done between Salford and Unisinos.
