The songs on the Pajubá album as a counter-hegemonic resistance strategy
Songs; Pajubá; Identities
The purpose of this research is to seek which gender and ethnic-racial identities emerge from Linn da Quebrada's songs. Specifically, the artist's first studio album called 'Pajubá'. Therefore, in the first two written chapters of this future dissertation, we try to discuss at first about categories such as identification, representation and representativeness. While, in a second moment, we discuss the theoretical and methodological bases, in which we use to build the analyses, namely, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Critical Music Analysis (CMA). From this theoretical scope we analyzed two songs from the Pajubá album which are 'Bixa Preta' and 'Enviadescer'. Thus, within CDA we use the categories vocabulary, grammar, cohesion and metaphor that belong to the field of textual and discursive analysis. As well, within ACM we use categories, which can be accessible to non-musicians and still build an analysis based on theory, which are: melody, harmony, rhythm and timbre. Given the above, we analyzed two of the 14 songs contained in the Pajubá album for this qualification, in order to bring out the identities contained in the referred songs.
