| Summary: | This article aims to point out some possibilities of the presence of Indigenous voice in Brazilian popular music, based on various musical examples highlighting the Missão das Pesquisas Folclóricas recordings, organized by Mário de Andrade. What draws more attention is the nasal quality – arising from the language Nheengatu widely used in Brazil until the eighteenth century that influenced the sound of the cateretê, the catira and the cururu (old style) moda de viola and other genres of popular culture. The slippery and nasal voice of Indigenous lullabies (mukuru) still echoes in current maternal singing even merged the Iberian influence. The use of falsetto also appears in ‘música caipira’; mainly in the sertanejo duets (country music). Some vocal features as interjections, onomatopoeia, glissandos show Indigenous shamanic oral art that resonated in the ‘causos’ storytelling. |
