Abstract

A decade characterized by an effervescent left-wing political upheaval, 1960 has already marked out several researches, many of them consecrated, aimed at unraveling the relations between the artistic production of the time and the historical and socio-cultural framework. It was at that time, the heyday of the great festivals and the rise of MPB and tropicalism, that the recorded popular song, anchored in national and international references (samba, bossa nova, jazz, rock), consolidated its status, among the peers, interpreter from Brazil. When performing a self-criticism of the song, without exempting itself from contextual criticism, tropicalism gradually established itself as a milestone in Brazilian culture, being generally pointed out as an index of the process of consolidation of the
late capitalism in the country.
