Projeto Pixinguinha: 30 anos de música e estrada

This study investigates the role of the Projeto Pixinguinha within public policies intended to support, democratize and provide access to the cultural wealth of Brazil during two specific historical moments: the 1970s, when the project was created, and the first decade of the twenty-first century, focusing on the period between 2004 and 2007. Together with the study of this trajectory, some of those responsible for the project between 2004 and 2007 were interviewed, particularly those connected to public power at the municipal, state and federal levels. Using all this information, a panorama is traced of the work done by the project, its mission to popularize Brazilian music and its role in forming audiences.
