The modinha and the lundu: a possible pedagogical proposal

Abstract

This article aims to make a brief history of modinha and lundu, two musical genres that are linked to the history of Brazilian music. Articulated to the complexity of the social subjects involved in their composition, execution and reception practices, the genres in question emphasize both intercultural encounters and conflicts. Moreover, poetic texts and the iconography present in the historiography of these manifestations can help us to find a pedagogy that articulates the synesthetic (perceptive-cognitive) processes linked to musical reality.
