A censura dos anos 1970 e as canções de Chico Buarque : arte e transgressão ao controle social na ditadura militar

Abstract

The Censorship is an old phenomenon in the history of Brazil, being observed from the Getúlio Vargas government with greater activity during the military regime (1964-1985). It is during the years of the 1970s, after the publication of Institutional Act (AI-5), the repression became more active and is used by the government as an instrument of coercion of any kind of artistic expression that was threatening the existing order. The song was also targeted for repression of censorship, because the letters were to be approved by DCDP before a possible shooting and viewing. The broadcasters, especially TV Globo and TV Record, played an important role in the dissemination of music through the song festivals, giving the music a new meaning and function beyond what was usual hitherto. Chico Buarque is part of the group of artists who participated in the festivals, and the choice he took this job because you can not speak of Brazilian popular music not to mention this great artist and a citizen, who, with his work, turned generations. Returning to Brazil after his autoexílio in Italy, Chico would not realize that more to stay silent and face the situation whereby the country was. His songs have the proposed change to this, criticism and questioning of the current system, and therefore increases the pressure on him. Chico Buarque became the number one of the Censorship, and periods when all that was sent with his name was censored. But regardless of all his work against the siege, Chico created strategies to circumvent censorship (in the case of using the pseudonym of Adelaide Julinho). Although not accept the label of protest singer and is considered "a singer growl, a person of protest," Chico became a champion of resistance. With the political opening she sees a light at the end of the tunnel, because the artistic freedom reborn.
