A música é de viola a representação caipira na obra de Chico Lobo, Wilson Dias e Pereira da Viola

Abstract

This master's thesis deals with an analysis of the representation of "caipira" music in the works of contemporary "violeiros" (Brazilian folk guitarists), aiming to investigate how their songs express the cultural elements that are part of the rural tradition, specifically within the interior of Minas Gerais. To achieve this objective, we discuss, in the first chapter, a brief history of "caipira" music from its Iberian origins to its establishment as a musical genre through the phonographic industry. In the second chapter, we explore the establishment of the research field of Sociology of Music and Tradition, where our work is situated. In the third chapter, we engage in a discussion of the "caipira" genre, seeking to understand, through the albums "Louvação" by Chico Lobo, "Lume" by Wilson Dias, and "Terra boa" by Pereira da Viola, the thematic elements that characterize them as "caipira" music. Finally, the sociological analysis of these songs was conducted using the method of musical decomposition.
