Río de Janeiro: Cuerpo y latido de una ciudad

  • María Victoria Navas Sánchez-élez
Keywords: Rio de Janeiro, Garota de Ipanema, Urban poetics, Bossa nova

Abstract

From the song Garota de Ipanema, this paper analyses the way how a tune becomes the me¬tonymy of a city. A composition that was revolutionary at that time, because of its topic, its tune and its performers, and that ended up becoming a utopic metaphor of Rio, its beach and, by extension, of Brazil. The song transgresses its initial message and becomes a false metaphor of the city.
