Abstract
This article addresses the various appropriations of the Beatles’ songs in Brazil. It proposes a thorough account, within the limits of an article, aiming to comprehend the aesthetic and political battles concerning the incorporation of the Beatles’ sound into Brazilian national culture. The article analyses both the incorporation and rejection of the Beatles’ sound from various national musical segments, and the importance of the anthropophagization of the electric guitar by the tropicalists (Os Tropicalistas). From this perspective, I illustrate how distinction within Brazilian musical fields has been reconstructed via two different types of incorporation of the group’s sound: one pre-Sgt. Pepper and another post-Sgt. Pepper and how they influenced the uneven battle for the institutional memory of Brazilian culture.
