This paper aims to analyze how the cordel literature is presented in the multicultural area of migration. We will analyze the work of Joao Antonio Barros (Jotabarros) and Franklin Machado (Maxado Nordestino), migrant poets who moved to and lived in São Paulo in the 1970s and 1980s, and their articulation with this new urban space. Cordel literature is seen as both traditional and dynamic, as it is shaped by the past and the changing dynamics of the fragmented societies where it is produced. Thus, it undergoes a constant process of re-invention, as writers reflect their current reality while at the same time attempting to reconnect with their roots. Barros and Machado rearrange their relation with the past in response to a challeging present, and this study will look at the impact of migration on their voices and verses.
