O progresso pela viola: análise político ideológica da obra musical de Tonico e Tinoco durante a ditadura militar

Abstract

The present work aims to make both a political and ideological analysis of Brazilian society during Military Dictatorship and has the musical work of Tonico and Tinoco as its source. As I listened to the songs from the Dupla Coração do Brasil , I realized that some of them saw the theme progress differently from that seen by other country songs. They presented it as a non-structuring element of country society, whereas Tonico and Tinoco s songs consider progress to be positive for national development. Having that as evidence, we start from the hypothesis that the songs had elements from the ideology of the Military Government, which was established in Brazil as of the civil-military strike of 1964. Also, the songs contributed to consolidate the military ideology and make it known, based on progress, integration of the nation, and country security discourse. The work is theoretically supported on Cultural History, which makes it possible to use music as a historical source. The work also comprises discussion on the origins of the concept progress. Furthermore, it shows the manheimeana s view on ideology. Then, it presents the ideology of the military government and the utopy of the left party, having the engaged artistic Left movements and their relations to cultural industry and its means of communication, specifically the radio, as scenery. Next, this work points out Tonico and Tinoco s life and work. Finally, it brings analyses of songs of the mentioned duo as its final considerations.
