A música como fonte de informação no período da ditadura militar no estado do Ceará

Abstract

Music is one of the most efficient sources of information because, through it, one can have knowledge of the whole political, social and economic apparatus of an era. The song tells the story of a people through their lyrics. And this was no different in the period of the military dictatorship (1964-1985), where criticisms of the government were rooted in protest songs. Looking at this context, the problem arises: What is the role of music as a source of information during the period of the military dictatorship in the State of Ceará? The objective of the research is to analyze the musical context of the period of the military dictatorship in Ceará, as a source of information for the society of the time. The methodology is characterized by an exploratory research with a qualitative approach where we treat the subject through his subjective traits and peculiarities. The instruments of collection will be the bibliographical research and structured interviews directed to a musical producer and a person belonging to the population mass. The results show that music in the dictatorial period was, and is, a source of information, which gives the public a denunciation of the atrocities of that time, but not all had this access. The conclusion shows that music during the period of the military dictatorship had this informational function, but the majority of the population did not have access to these works of protest due to the action of censorship, such action was intended that society remained alienated, not compromising the Dictatorial plans.
