Resumo: This article aims to analyze aspects and features of the experimental production of composers and bands of Brazilian popular music in the 70’s, a period marked by the military dictatorship and the expansion of media industries linked to the popular song’s field (record companies and TV stations). It starts with the theoretical discussion about experimentalism led by Umberto Eco and from the concept of “critical song”, by Santuza C. Naves, in order to think of the “experimental song”. Three broad lines of the experimentation practiced by these creators will be pointed out: 1) relations between tradition and modernity, as a tropicalista heritage, but held on another level; 2) experimentalism like aesthetic exercise specifically performed within the materiality of the poetic and musical code of the song leading to specific meanings; 3) the creative use of the body and the performance, as elements which produce meanings, being in line with the national understanding of counterculture. Keywords Brazilian popular music. Experimentalism. Counterculture. 70’s.

Se inicia con la discusión teórica de la experimentación realizada por Umberto Eco y el concepto de “canción crítica”, por Santuza C. Naves, para pensar la “canción experimental”. Se señaló tres grandes líneas de experimentación que practican los creadores: 1) la relación entre tradición y modernidad, como herencia del tropicalismo, pero hecha en otro nivel, 2) el experimentalismo como ejercicio estético llevado específicamente en la materialidad del código poético y musical de la canción teniendo en vista determinados significados, 3) el uso creativo del cuerpo y performance como elementos productores de sentido, de acuerdo con la lectura nacional de la contracultura. Palabras clave Música popular brasileña. Experimentalismo. Contracultura. Años 1970.Neste artigo, pretende-se analisar aspectos e características da produção experimental de compositores e grupos da música popular brasileira dos anos 1970, período marcado pela ditadura militar e pela expansão das indústrias midiáticas ligadas ao campo da canção popular (gravadoras e emissoras de TV). Parte-se da discussão teórica sobre experimentalismo feita por Umberto Eco e do conceito de “canção crítica”, de Santuza C. Naves, para pensar a “canção experimental”. Serão apontadas três linhas gerais da experimentação praticada por esses criadores: 1) relação entre tradição e modernidade, como herança tropicalista, mas efetivada em outro patamar; 2) experimentalismo como exercício estético realizado especificamente na materialidade do código poético e musical da canção visando determinados significados; 3) uso criativo do corpo e da performance como elementos produtores de sentido, em sintonia com a leitura nacional da contracultura.
