Música e resistência nos anos de chumbo no Brasil: Gonzaguinha 1964-1985

Abstract

The present work seeks to study the compositions and music of Luiz Gonzaga do Nascimento Júnior, Gonzaguinha, an icon of popular music who lived during the dictatorship, as well as to analyze his lyrics full of meanings and protests against the established system. It seeks to resume the debate of the dictatorial state that Brazil lived from 1964-1985, a period marked by political persecution, censorship and manipulation of political discourse with the subaltern society. The works of Gonzaguinha contributed to the reflection and fed a speech of protection to the culture and artistic groups that also manifested themselves for the art. The methodology used was documentary and bibliographic research, as well as video files that bring their manifestations. It was concluded that it is necessary to keep in debate the historical process that involves the dictatorship of Brazil, as it is still possible to observe conservative discourses with the aim of weakening the democratic system constituted in 1988, a reflection of the social struggles represented by the Magna Carta.
