This study reflects on the social interaction perceived through the voices that sing the popular religious song called bendito. This perspective finds in Bakhtin theoretical orientation for analysis, since the related author ties the verbal interactions to broader social interactions, relating the notion of “interaction” not only with the situations face the face, but to enunciative situations, to the speech processes. Thus, the conception of language as social communication exceeds the personal scope mere, exceeds the psychological concept of citizen, turning itself towards the mechanisms of constitution and determination of the behavior human beings, who are based on the material and ideological conditions of life in society.
