THE FEMALE AND MALE IN CHICO BUARQUE DE HOLLANDA'S LYRICS
Abstract
There is a permanent tension among considering the music as art or as consumption goods, because that one is susceptible to reproduction. Even so the music has been occupying a privileged place in the Brazilian history as it reaches all of the socioeconomic layers, besides revealing the daily conflicts. In this sense, the present work aims to make a reading of the male and female genders in the music of Chico Buarque de Hollanda, due to his importance in the Brazilian social-political scenery.
