Experiências urbanas e tensões: trajetória, oralidade e música em Bezerra da Silva.

These writings discuss issues related to urban experiences lived in the hills of Rio de Janeiro based on the methodological oral history (interviews prepared by other researchers and the authors) and history and music (orality of the poetics of the songs). It is aimed to privilege Bezerra da Silva's path and work. The artist favored, in his repertoire, issues from the daily lives of the hills' residents, with emphasis on themes such as violence, shortage, inequality, drugs, criminality, trickery, among others.
