This paper is concerned with the questioning of the emergence of new cultures of space since the second half of the 20th century via the so-called the space-race. My objective is to understand the way the extension of human borders starting with the scientific advances which brought Man to space affected compositions regarding space in the field of the arts, above all the musical arts. We are also concerned with the “cosmic escape” inherent in this historic period. In this sense, I propose a historical analysis of the album “Paêbiru: O caminho da montanha do sol” (“Paêbiru: The way of the mountain of the sun”) released by Zé Ramalho and Lula Côrtes in 1975 in the city of Recife. The purpose of this analysis is to think of the way this new culture of space affects the spatialization of the imagination of the Brazilian northeast in this album. The album is concerned with the petroglyphs of the Pedra do Ingá (Ingá’s Stone), found in the backcountry town of Cariri. Without losing vision of the processes of subjectification and the counterculture practices of the psychedelic culture of the 70’s (to which the artists in question were connected), we will address the impacts of the outer-space adventure in a ressignification of imagined borders, in this case, the borders of the Brazilian Northeast.
