O som da resistência: música na ditadura civil militar brasileira

Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyze how Brazilian music was used as an intelectual instrument of criticism of the political system, moral and social of Brazil during the period of the military civil dictatorship (1964-1985). For this, we selected some songs from three discs that did not suffer censorship, being them: “Opinião de Nara” (1964), of Nara Leão; “Secos e Molhados” (1973), of band Secos e Molhados; and “Alucinação” (1976), of Belchior. This way was thought knowing that, music is one of the main forms of expression of the human being, stimulating his creative, perceptive, imaginary and sentimental development, behaving as a vehicle that exposes the dreams and yearnings of a generation. From the debates proposed by the songs we perceive questions and criticism to the government, the morality imposed by it, and also, society as a force to change the contemporaneity.
