BARRETO, Mariana Mont’Alverne. Popular music and national borders: the Kalunga show from Brazil and Angola. Anál. Social [online]. 2024, n.250, pp.30-55.  Epub 31-Mar-2024. ISSN 0003-2573.  https://doi.org/10.31447/202165.

This paper discusses how Brazilian and Angolan national-popular songs were related in a space of cultural circulation on a transnational scale. For this goal, it takes as its object a tour of Brazilian musicians to Angola, in 1980, called Kalunga Project. It proposes an analytical path which apprehends the musical event as a heuristic object while it aims to investigate how the two national musical formations were confronted in their nationalization and internationalization strategies. It is an attempt to compare two musical realities, prioritizing an examination of the development of the Angolan national and popular music in the post-independence period, based on field study in Angola as well as an analysis of documentary and bibliographic sources.

Palabras clave : national cultures; popular music from Brazil and Angola; transnational circulation of culture; Cold War.
