Description
Throughout the 20th century, phonographic industries unprecedentedly intensified the circulation of music between countries and territories with Lusophone heritage. Local music genres such as samba and maxixe in Brazil, and fado in Portugal, were promoted through musical industry to the symbolic status of national music, becoming part of a vast and complex system of transoceanic circulation. This presentation will address two musicians who played a key role in building sonic bridges between Brazil and Portugal during the early phase of phonography, whose trajectories are largely forgotten due to technological obsolescence. These are artists whose productions actively contributed to the construction of shared sonic imaginaries and who moved between Portuguese and Brazilian artistic contexts in the early decades of the 20th century, participating in the emerging entertainment industry. The presentation is part of the project "Liber Sound: Recorded Music, Transcontinental Experiences, Connected Communities," which proposes the liberation of musical heritage stored in obsolete sound carriers with the aim of providing memory reactivation through innovative archiving processes. The project was developed at INET-md of the University of Aveiro (Portugal).
