Entre a cultura e a política: a dramatização do futebol nas composições musicais de Chico Buarque

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the presence of soccer in the Brazilian society through the musical work of Chico Buarque. With empirical evidence, we used his songs that dealt directly and indirectly with soccer and also used it as theoretical concept of “drama” that was presented by Roberto Da Matta. In conclusion, we believe that the popular Brazilian music, also used as an artistic expression, is an important part for disseminating ideas about our society, including soccer that is a phenomenon of great proportions, often ends up being mistaken as something apart from society and that is not the understanding of Chico Buarque.”
