Abstract
The goal of this work is to propose a critical reflection on some of the main aesthetic-social ruptures developed by two internationally renowned Brazilian composers of popular music: Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque de Hollanda. Both are considered strong influences in dismantling taboos in Brazilian popular music and culture, surpassing prejudice and racism. Such composers brought a new aesthetic and critical dimension to Brazilian popular songbook, innovating in themes never discussed before, making bridges between popular music and other forms of expressions: theater, cinema, television, literature, poetry, plastic arts, sciences, philosophy, among others. Over the decades, these artists have become reference sources in the struggle for human and civil rights, gender, race and class equality, free expression, and against the power of authoritarian governments in Brazil and in the world.
