Seu Polícia, deixa eu tocar: o rock n’ roll macapaense na década perdida (1980-1985)

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the nuances of rock n' roll, in the city of Macapá, in the period comprising the final years of the Military Dictatorship (1980-1985). As a Federal Territory, the sociability existing in this space is limited, sometimes through the public administration model, sometimes through the repressive apparatus of the State. It is intended to analyze the songs produced by the macapaense’s artists, through their lyrics, attached to the processes forwarded to the Departamento de Censura de Diversões Públicas (SCDP), referring to records of compositions by macapaense’s musicians. Thus, it is intended to establish in what ways the Military Dictatorship had its performance in the eighty Macapá, in order to understand the models of sociability among the participants of musical sets linked to rock n' roll, using comparative analyses between the songs of these artists and the songs produced by names of the musical movement known as “Jovem Guarda” in the 1960s.
