Abstract

This article deals with the entanglements between culture and politics in the first decades of Brazil’s First Republic taking the disputes surrounding the category “popular music” as a privileged element of socio-anthropological analysis. Starting from a very well-known episode among historians of music – the “Noite do Corta-jaca”, occurred in October 26th, 1914 – and its repercussion in local press, I wish to comprehend in which ways notions as “erudite” and “popular” (or even “high” and “low” culture) were created by an intelligentsia willing to validate the new political regime before its population.
