In the present article, we intend to analyze the popular and elite identities representations into the songs, images and performance of Carlos Gardel and Carmen Miranda. The hypothesis is that those artists were important in the process of negotiation and the Argentinean and Brazilian national identities-building; concerning their performance as interpreters in their countries, and the advertising over their works which were purchased by a large number of consumers in an emergency nationalism between the Wars. In their songs, images and performance, there were also popular representations which were associated with national identity. This association is the theme of study.
