A Oposição à ditadura militar em canções da MPB: uma análise da interação entre letra e música

Abstract

The military dictatorship that ruled Brazil from 1964 complete, in 2014, its 50th anniversary. Remember in the dictatorial past without the opinion of the artistic manifestations, especially the popular song, let the memory and history of these hard years on the brink of incompleteness, after all, the MPB, along with the other arts, played a key role in opposition to the military regime and the censorship that was inherent. Artistic events have established themselves as true enemies of the dictatorship / censorship that, over the years, rose greatly as to curtail the voices of theater, literature, and especially popular music, especially from 1968, the act grants institutional number 5 (AI-5). Based on this context, the objective of this research is to verify to what extent the opposition to the military dictatorship is represented by the poetic and musical dimensions of three songs of MPB, namely: "Apesar de você" (1973), Chico Buarque, "Pra não dizer que não falei das flores "(1968), Geraldo Vandre and" Cálice "(1978), Gilberto Gil and Chico Buarque. Our hypothesis is that there are these songs a kind of complementary action between music and lyrics and the latter, as well as the letter, can / should be analyzed / interpreted, given that both act complementarily in the construction of meaning (FINNEGAN 2008; Perrone, 1988). The analysis therefore starts the relation in between music and lyrics, trying, wherever possible, not separate them, so that the study of said object is performed in the form in which it was designed, that is, "sung / played ". We hope thus to contribute to advances in research that promote the interrelationship between literary art and musical art, in order to enhance not only the similarities between poem and music, but above all the existence of a complementary action between words and music in construction of meaning. We hope to contribute also to reflections on the meaning of the military dictatorship during the years in force in the country.
