Abstract

The article analyzes the only audio record (1968) of Torquato Neto, which points out, in dialogue with the experimental context of Tropicália (Süssekind, 2007), another point of view to rethink the creations and studies related to the so-called popular cultures, since such manifestations are almost always circumscribed exclusively to the field of Folklore. Starting from the relation between local and global (Anjos, 2005) and the concept of anthropophagy as a mechanism for proposing a Brazilian art that would incorporate both foreign and national myths, it is discussed the poetic project of non-folklorizing the popular, as Torquato says.
