Sonoridades caipiras na cidade: a produção de Cornélio Pires (1929-1930)

Abstract

This research analyzes the production of Cornelio Pires, emphasizing the recordings that he organized, which included songs and narratives, a total of 52 disks with 78 rpm (1929 and 1930), enabling the record and hearing the sounds in urban rustics. Therefore, we attempted to recover the transformations in the city of São Paulo, where the recordings were made of the disks and their disclosure. In the late '20s and during the '30s, this city was booming, with a pole of attraction for migrants and immigrants seeking a better life and achieving your dreams, among the new elements of "modernity" emerged and spread in the radio which reported the sounds hillbillies, among many others. In the series Caipira Cornelio Pires is represented the rural, the rustic and culture, often in contrast to the urban experiences. The intense growth of São Paulo generated feelings of nostalgia, emerging representations of country life as idyllic and harmonious, resuming their countryman culture references to religiosity, everyday practices, work, leisure and party (task force, which worked in, sang, ate and doted), relations between male and female and affective relationships and loving. Thus, the countryman and hillbilly culture represented by Cornelio Pires are wrapped in a process of "cultural hybridity" in a building in constant relationship between town and country by means of sound, the everyday representations and projects he betrayed the production
