| Summary: | The article analyzes poetic and musical resources of the songs “A negra do acarajé” (Dorival Caymmi) and “Carioca” (Chico Buarque), and seeks to interpret two moments of passage of a certain system of Brazilian popular-commercial song. In its initial stage, this system marks the transition from popular forms of oral tradition, among which stands out the street auction, to the disco and the radio. Fundamental aspects of the artistic form and marketing performance of the song are clarified from this relationship. In the second moment of passing, the jingle seems to take the place of the trading floor. And Chico Buarque's song plays a role similar to that of the journalistic chronicle. In order to clarify these transitions, which point to a broader cultural and economic process, “A negra do acarajé” and “Carioca” are examined in their entirety, in light of both the formation of Brazilian society and its current impasses. |
