Pletora de alegria: a aventura frustra e reluzente do país mulato na poesia de Caetano Veloso

Abstract

A modern and conceptual creator, Caetano Veloso works with numerous references, of the order of the song, literature and the arts in general, contacting the cultural memory of the country, putting this memory in crisis. Under the perspective "Zabé come Zumbi, Zumbi come Zabé" Caetano performs mixing and the cannibalism theory and aesthetics that represents (presents) Brazil. Caetano rescues the folk from a deep isolation promoted by purist rhetoric of some elite. He realize that, blindly preserving a culture, or simply dismiss, it is a perversion, in a country as diverse as Brazil. He takes the hits of the mass and uses the song as a tool for theoretical and critical thinking about the country, breaking the linearity and dismantles the automatism, raping them through a structure made of overlapping fragments, something elusive and illusory at the same time. This work analyzes the songs of Caetano Veloso from a reading based on the procedure of hybridization and the presence of mulatto, in addition to ethnic-racial, taking theoretical components such as a circular process (applicant) and characteristic of Caetano s work. For hybridization understand that there is not a third term that resolves the tension between two cultures, otherwise, is the crisis in the system of recognition
