Description
Summary:This paper aims to discuss the musical culture from the suburb of São Paulo (Brazil) through the analysis of the production developed in the Youth Cultural Center (YCC), a major public cultural space located in the north of the city. Our intent is to focus on the musical diversity produced there or offered in their schedule, understanding that it expresses, in a certain way, the ethnic and cultural richness of Brazil. The Center is an important space to debate and produce the independent music in Brazil, often organizing events with artists and musical genres that are away from the Brazilian musical mainstream. The region where YCC is located has many favelas and poor neighborhoods, concentrating a significant afro-brazilian population and migrants from the poor northeast of Brazil. Also for this reason, since 2006 the Center has a recording studio where local artists can record cds for free.
