Abstract

Assuming the salient mimetic capacity of Jorge Ben Jor songs, this
article analyzes one of his music: País Tropical. Two different versions
are studied, one of Wilson Simonal and the other one of Tropicalism, both
of 1969, aiming at verifying the speech redraft process, patriotic in the
first one and allegorizer of the nationalism and the products of cultural
industry in the second one. It is remarkable, over all, a path of redefinition
exceeding the simple interpretative variability, inherent to any object of analysis, but especially characterized by the authentic way the song is transformed to, and not just by, the context.
