O peixe vivo na Amazônia: um mundo-açu nas canções da Banda Cravo Carbono

Abstract

This research focuses on the urban music band Cravo Carbono that played in Belém, Pará in late 1990 and early 2000 with emphasis on the album Peixe Vivo, released in 2001. This album features on its compositions various literary features and musical genres that articulate into a hybrid and unique musical product. The research basically contextualizes the band socially and culturally to study its product, which literary and musical elements are endowed with "traditional", "modern", "local", "global" that dialogue together. The objective of this research is, from this background, to reveal some elements of multiculturalism, especially in the poetic text and the music on some tracks of the album Peixe Vivo. Issues such as the various identities that cause doubts in the current society and the multiculturalism, typical in the process of cultural hybridization that is presented in the Amazon, are treated under an ethnomusicological look.
