Abstract

Nara Leão was one of the main singers of Brazilian popular music. Her career began in the 1960's, a cultural and political turbulent period, when she worked as a singer of different musical repertoires - from bossa nova to tropicália - and as an actress in scenic-musical shows. Assuming that her work is essential to understanding debates and transformations of Brazilian popular music, we discuss the early years of her career and his first album. We will try to verify the way such questions about popular music, largely connected to cultural and political discussions, are expressed in the singer's work.
