Abstract

In this paper we show that the antibossanovist attitude evidenced musically by the voices, the genres and arrangements of the artists of “Pessoal do Ceará” also occurs in the textual aspect of the songs of these artists who appeared in the Brazilian music scene in the 1970s. To illustrate this discussion, we analyze the songs Berro and Abertura (EDNARDO, 1976) from the point of view of discourse analysis. The findings reinforce the thesis that in parallel to the evolutionary line opened by Bossa Nova movement in the popular Brazilian music, other lines, originating from musical environments far from southeastern Brazil, evolved at the same time exploring opportunities offered by Bossa Nova and drawing an own musical and textual style.
