Abstract

This article proposes an analysis of the composer Geraldo Filme's samba. I discuss the perspective constructed by the sambas regarding survival and clash stigma, intermediated by the marginalized social sectors in the expansion of the city of São Paulo, Brazil. We claim that Geraldo's perspective weaves a counternarrative of the city and its marginalized group's history. We conclude by pointing out the dissenting character of the politic and social practices in the evoked sociability and in the poetry from the songs of this composer.
