The singer and composer “Joy, Joy”, a song he composed in 1967, to appear in his act against amnesty and on Sunday (21), in Rio de Janeiro. The sense of calling is already announced in the first three chords: the larger, the bigger and the biggest sustainment there. The progression challenges the listener, leaving him attentive and strong to accompany the letter that follows the ribcombant introduction.
In one of the largest protests on the left since the 2018 election, they have played a key role in mobilizing militancy, experts heard by Sheet. In addition, protests across the country showed the unpopular nature of the armage PEC, which could make investigations against deputies and senators that by Wednesday (24).
In any case, the conjuncture now has an impasse to the progressive field, which seeks to maintain mobilization, with diffuse and a little distant leaders, and rescue an identity.
The acts were announced in a hurry by and by the MTST (Movement of Workers Homeless Workers), supported by the Popular Brazil and People without Fear. The call only intensified, however, when the artistic class adhered to the cause.
In particular, Caetano and Paula Lavigne, his wife and businesswoman, to hold the protests. Even though in São Paulo politicians spoke, the protagonism went to artists, such as, and, who chanted classics of the Brazilian popular.
In an interview with SheetLavigne said that, but from civil society as a whole.
Author of the books “Travel of the Message” and “Sound and Sense”, claims to have become evident the ability to mobilize the composers. After all, the song has the ability to “give a warning signal to ongoing threats, to light the desire for political will and to correspond to a nation, numb and manipulated by the torpe motivations.”
“The song in Brazil is an immense reserve of non -authoritarian sensitivity and, in the case of Sunday, anti -fascist,” says Wisnik, also singer and composer. “Politics is a party of shared memory, the affects of affirmation of life, the dream of an inclusive people.”
Throughout the 20th century, the artists intervened at troubled moments of politics. In the musical act, “Chalice”, by Chico and Gil, recalled the confrontation of dictatorship, and “Vai Passa”, Chico’s partnership with Francis Hime, redemocratization.
“Artists like they are part of a historical cycle that dates back to over half a century, but are not dated, as with the strong arts, but with particularity of being what seems more to hold the ends of Brazil how much everything de -cramps. Still. Why not?” Asks Wisnik.
Despite the overthrow in the Senate of the Sunning Senate, Congress still articulates a proposal to reduce the penalties of those convicted by the attempted coup d’état of 2022 and 2023. The project could also benefit the former president, sentenced to more than 27 years in prison.
In addition to the call of the artistic class, the left went to the streets for the unpopular nature of PEC, says Marco Antonio Carvalho Teixeira, political scientist at FGV. “It was evident that the proposal is a measure of self -protection. It was a shot in the foot, because the indignation mobilized the people.”
According to USP, the acts equated in public to the September 7’s Bolsonarist demonstration. On Sunday 41,800 people were in Rio de Janeiro and 42,400 in São Paulo.
Political scientist at UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais), Leonardo Avritzer says that since the juncture before the left was not organized in such an ingenious way. The dilemma, he says, is the scenario with diffuse leaders in the progressive field. Therefore, it is unlikely to maintain mobilization with the artistic class only.
“It is still early to say that the left has resumed the streets and I think it is unlikely that the artists are able to act together in all leftist guidelines,” he says.
Also political scientist, Paulo Henrique Cassimiro, from UERJ (Rio de Janeiro State University), says the progressive field still needs to rescue an identity. He says there was a political calculation error on the part of the center, with the shielding PEC being approved at the same time as the dosimetry is discussed.
Cassimiro states that the armor PEC generated political cost for the proposal to reduce penalties to scammers. After all, Sunday’s acts positioned themselves against both subjects.
“The engine of this mobilization was the dissatisfaction with Congress, which today has the worst evaluation among the institutions in the country,” he says. “The acts showed a way to the left field. If Paula Lavigne can articulate an act of this every time necessary.”
The protagonism of Caetano, Chico and Gil can also be explained, according to the professor, by the figure of, who did not produce successor. In his view, the progressive field became very dependent on the president, who maintained some distance from the protests. How it showed the Sheethis goal was not to generate even more friction with the.
“Lula has taken on the traditional position that the statesman must take, but thinking about what is politics today, he should have positioned himself more. Neutrality will no longer bring political capital, including the center.”
