Música canavial entre a indústria cultural e a cultura popular: Estudo sobre um fenômeno híbrido da zona da mata norte de PE

Abstract

This study aims to analyze a cultural phenomenon that has been developing inthe North Woods Zone, it is named as canavial music. Paraphrasing Canclini (2015), it is possible to say that today all cultures are from border. Nevertheless, a border presupposes at least two boundary territories; in this sense the theoretical limits that we set out to analyze were those ofthe Cultural Industry and Popular Culture. The methodology followed a qualitative way of ethnographic inspiration and it consisted of discreet observations of the spaces provided by the cultural scene in question, interviews with the artists that compose it and documentary analysis of sites and lyrics from the songs related to the theme. As a final result, it was concluded that the canavial music is hybrid expression which, in addition to being simply a musical rhythm, it provides socializing environments with greatcreative effervescence, and it carries itself the coexistence of contradictory elements that are capable of generating images that promote the limits of several pairs of opposition: rural x urban, massive x popular, merchandise x art, subaltern x hegemonic etc...
