SÃO PAULO QUASE LINDA: táticas cotidianas da metrópole nas canções do grupo Premê

Resumo (EN)

This research sought to identify the "everyday tactics" of São Paulo’s citizens inserted in the songs of the Premeditando o Breque, the Premê (musical group linked to Vanguarda Paulista), as memory reports of São Paulo, in the 1980’s. We used a qualitative approach of analytical nature, which sought the most recurrent themes in a sample of 15 (fifteen) songs of the group that tell the daily life of São Paulo: “weather and pollution”; “work and capital”; “means of transport and urban mobility”; “slums and violence”; “stories and legends of the neighborhoods”; “loneliness, ambition and consumption”. These themes were selected according to the concepts of Paul Zumthor, in his book "Tradition and Oblivion". The analysis conceives as a theoretical and methodological basis the ideas of Michel de Certeau, in his book "The Practice of Everyday Life", in which the author considers the practices of citizens who inhabit the modern cities, as tactics to circumvent the strategy of the technostructure of industrial society. We apply these concepts evaluating the craft prodution of Vanguarda Paulista as a tactic of experimental musicians in resistance to the logic of the music industry, the technostructure established in the artistic-musical ambit. In this route, it was described the socio-political context of the time, presented the aesthetic formation of Premê and analyzed the songs of the group from the point of view of the rescue of the "spirit of the city." Among some of the conclusions from this research, it was noted that the songs of Premê have formed musical chronicles, rebuilding the memory of the city, and that they represent a sonorous-musical record of the daily life of São Paulo in the 1980’s.
