A construção narrativa do Festival de MPB de 1967 nas páginas da revista “Intervalo”

Abstract

This research has as main objective to understand what was and was constructed the narrative of the "III Festival of Popular Brazilian Music" of 1967, by the magazine "Intervalo" of the publisher Abril. The Brazilian military period (1964-1985) was focused on social, artistic and musical movements, with the purpose of understanding how, despite censorship, violence, prisons and torture, music gained a voice and space, especially with the expansion of TV in Brazil and the creation of musical programs. A brief historical retrospective on the beginning of the musical competitions, as well as its main artistic and marketing characteristics is carried out. The 1967 Festival was one of the most important during the "Festival Era", being considered a moment of musical rupture, revolution and appearance of new characteristics for Brazilian popular music. The first specialized and specific journals of the media came into being, as the publishing house Abril was the first to exclusively deal with television in Brazil. The theoretical basis is in the main authors of memory, Oral History and Critical Analysis of Narrative. Recovered the biography of the magazine "Intervalo" from testimonies of former employees of the weekly. Finally, through the methodology of Critical Analysis of Narrative, proposed by Luiz Gonzaga Motta (2013), the analysis of the journalistic coverage made by the magazine "Intervalo" was carried out.
