Abstract

This article aims at discussing how the period spanning from the modernist movement to the opening of Brasília encompasses an especially fertile cycle in the Brazilian cultural life. It marks the moment when the literate culture of a late slavocratic country viewed, through the release of its most obscure and repressed potentialities, the possibility of affirming its destiny and of revealing itself by means of the union of the erudite and the popular. Such potentialities were related to racial mixing and cultural melting intermingled with desire, violence, abundance, and misery. And such apparently conflictive relationship between the erudite and the popular presents itself in the Brazilian musical universe as creative dialogue, a wide variety of fusions and unequal mixtures, and becomes one of the most important keys to understand the Brazilian culture.
