A literatura e a música quando do “fim da canção” em Chico Buarque: uma comparação entre sistemas, tradições e sentidos

Abstract

In an interview conducted in 2004, Chico Buarque punctuated a certainagony of the song form in Brazil due to the emergence of rap in the music scene. In the artist’s view, less than the impossibility of making songs, what would be at stake would be the decline of a certain form of Brazilian sociability that would be within the formation of the Brazilian song system. It is the intention of this work to think about the management that Chico Buarque seeks to mobilize from the Brazilia song system, as well as the outputs that it seeks to elaborate in the literature. In this sense, what is under discussion are the specificities that the Brazilian song tradition would offer to deal with the Brazilian historical matter when compared with thepossibilities offered by the local literary system. To this end, we will try to analyze such systems (and their respective possibilities) by crossing part of the critical fortune interested in debating their respective historical specificities, as well as the perspective that Chico Buarque raised in the 2004 interview and at other times.
