Extract

Oral tradition is the theme for the event that we are initiating now. We will attempt to present a synthesis of the emergence and development of popular music and its importance in Brazilian culture. It is our intention to present a brief summary of all this trajectory throughout the national territory, particularly focusing, though, on popular music in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
