Descrição

O presente estudo aborda a ativi­dade musical de artistas paraenses da primei­ra metade do século XX, centrado na reflexão sobre os sentidos de “popular” ensejados na repercussão da atuação intelectual e artística desses sujeitos. As pistas investigadas no tra­balho foram coletadas em periódicos, regis­tros memorialísticos e ensaios de folcloristas, dentro do recorte cronológico selecionado. Os dados indicam a conformação de dois campos de atuação musical nesse período, em que se inseriram músicos-folcloristas e músicos po­pulares profissionais. O texto analisa a invoca­ção de diferentes sentidos nas criações destes músicos, no contexto amazônico, em torno de classificações como música folclórica, música popular e música artística.||The current study approaches the musical activity of Paraense artists in the first half of the 20th century, focused on the senses of “popular” developed due to the repercussion of these characters’ intellectual and artistic performance.
