Essa música foi feita pra mim: relações amorosas, paixões e cotidiano presentes na música brega em Manaus

Abstract

The current research work consists of leading in the analysis of music popularly designated as brega that characterizes itself as predominant musical style in the north area. We search to report historically and to contemplate concerning the multiple interpretations regarding the affective relationships contained in this sound art, taking into account the everyday life of those who live that type of music. This research seeks to give themes to histories that take place at bars, at small and big night clubs, at the beginning or end of night, in the outlying and noble neighborhoods, finally in varied shades that surpass the simple taste of hearing or dancing the tacky rhythm, tending as backdrop men and women´s relationships. The temporary cutting worked will be decades between 1980 and 1990, suitable for the several singer´s emergence, cd, requests of listeners on the radios, shows and interviews for newspapers of great load. However, when needed, there won´t be obstructions for temporary retreats, since the brega music is built as a derivation of music of the 60´s and 70´s, as Elvis Presley´s rock or the youth´s singers movement in Brazil like Roberto Carlos, Erasmo Carlos and Vanderleia for instance. In the approach of the theme, we noticed how much the songs and the alcoholic drink are motivation factors for people meet themselves, drink and tell themselves all their stories. We understand that this thematic itself could be unfolded for the study of several themes, such as: musicality, gender, history, sexuality, culture and party. We don´t want to do the History of the brega music here, that´s not the intention. We want to explore other possibilities that music gives us to analyse how the subjects live and how they interact with that kind of music, to see how that music known as tacky has also something to transmit, it has history. The brega music captures influences brought not only for its faithful followers, but it involves a range of elements culturally built by the whole society. The woman, as the main theme of those musical narratives, becomes the focus of contradictory feelings in the lyrics of those songs. Love and hate, for instance, are close, fine feelings that in the brega music are passed in a hard way, without many subterfuges. Besides the lyrics of the music, they also constitute investigation sources, iconographical, bibliographical material and oral statements. In this last case, it was searched to talk directly with the subject of the study, men and women that weave their feelings through a musical style.
