Cantos de periferia: cosmovisões, estratégias e influências

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to understand the worldviews of young people from urban peripheries by analyzing part of their poetic-musical productions. This project also aimed to understand and analyze their strategies of production and dissemination of their works, focusing, among other factors, the popularization of internet, apps and electronic devices, that may contribute to an artistic production, to some extent disconnected from record companies and distributors of popular music. We work here with the following hypotheses: in the set of poetic-musical production of young periphery there is a significant range in relation to musical styles and favorite subjects or more found; new digital technologies have opened new spaces to disseminate the artwork of young people who normally have no access to record companies and the so-called mainstream press; the artistic references of the young people from urban peripheries are found mainly in popular music, on TV, in movies and are accessed mostly on the Internet.
