Porto Velho e o Rock: historiografia das canções entre os anos 2000 a 2010

Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of lyrics written by rock bands in Porto Velho, Rondônia, between 2000 and 2010. The central problem discussed in this work is the fact that Porto Velho has not achieved visibility as a city that produces songs with themes that go beyond regionalism and themes linked to nature, with songs with local content predominating in the artistic scene. The main objective is therefore to highlight songs that have been produced usingthemes that break away from the Amazonian paradigm. Using a methodological approach that combines bibliographical and historiographical research, interviews and in-depth theoretical analysis, the study offers an insight into the songwriting scene in portovelhense, focusing on a contextualization of the genres of lyric poetry and song in literature. We then analyze some songs composed by the bands: Coveiros, Ultimato, Nitro and Versalhes. Our analysis will be guided by authors such as Cara Salete de Almeida(1985) and João de Jesus Paes Loureiro (2015) to deal with the song as lyric poetry and Luís Augusto Fischer (2021) and Roberto Acízelo Souza (2014) to outline concepts relating to the historiographical exercise. Finally, it should be noted that this article aims to help create new ways of looking at the songs produced in Porto Velho and that this is a window to desacralize the view of the Amazon.
