A música de Chico Buarque no período da ditadura militar entre os anos de 1968 a 1974

Abstract

Working on this theme “The Music of Chico Buarque in the Period of the Dictatorship Military between the years 1968 to 1974”, will lead us to understand how the songs of Chico Buarque relates to the political issue of the Brazilian dictatorial period. Our goal is not just to study the music itself, but rather the relationship between music with history, corresponding to the period of the Brazilian Military Dictatorship. A music is a set of documents and messages, through which it makes possible know not only the history of music, but also issues from the context of music itself. Brazil in the period in which it was created, in its various aspects. As Menezes states, Some songs say more about the time in which they appeared, than than many books on the subject. Not that they intend to be the photographic record of that time or that represent a document historical: but because in them, introjected, is the climate of their time (MENEZES, 2002, p. 70). In this sense, our work will try to think and understand how Chico Buarque presents in his songs the Brazilian reality in the period in which we are approaching. To do this, we divided our work into three chapters. In the first chapter we will make a theoretical analysis of music taking as a reference in this discussion, the sociologist Nildo Viana, using some concepts developed by this author as the concept of State, Communicational Capital and Politics, which are of paramount importance for understanding music in society Modern. In addition to these concepts, there are still some fundamental questions to be addressed, such as music as a commodity, music as axiology and critical songs called axionomic, issues already discussed by Nildo Viana in his work “Values ​​in Modern Society”. This theoretical analysis of music becomes pertinent in this work, as understanding music today, opens the way to develop the theme here proposed.
