The song, based on an old melody of the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, was quickly adopted by hundreds of thousands of fans in Brazil and also millions in Argentina, becoming viral by social networks. From this phenomenon, the article analyzes the song, the musical and political traditions on which works, and the relationship between music and nationality that can be followed from that analysis; in the same sense, debates that relationship in the history of the World Cup. The performance of the Argentine fans then becomes in a centrally musical performance, in which it is possible to read the Argentina football culture, organized by narcissism and the logic of aguante. Durante la Copa del Mundo 2014 en Brasil, los hinchas argentinos viajaron en gran cantidad e inundaron las calles (incluso más que los estadios) cantando de modo unánime unacanción de aliento, reconocida por su primer verso: “Brasil, decime qué se siente”. La canción, basada en una vieja melodía del grupo de rock norteamericano Creedence Clearwater Revival,fue rápidamente adoptada por centenares de miles de hinchas en Brasil y otros millones en la Argentina, viralizándose asimismo por las redes sociales. A partir de este fenómeno, el trabajoanaliza la canción, las tradiciones musicales y políticas sobre las que trabaja, así como la relación entre música y nacionalidad que puede desprenderse de ese análisis; en el mismo sentido, discute esa relación en la historia de las Copas del Mundo. La actuación de los hinchas argentinos se convierte, entonces, en una actuación centralmente musical, en la que es posible leer la cultura futbolística argentina, organizada por el narcisismo y las lógicas del aguante. Durante a Copa do Mundo de 2014 no Brasil, os fãs da Argentina viajaram em grande número e inundaram as ruas (ainda mais do que os estádios), cantando de modo unânime uma canção de alento, conhecida pelo seu primeiro verso: “Brasil, me diz como se sente”. A canção, com base em uma antiga melodia da banda americana de rock Creedence Clearwater Revival, foi rapidamente adotada por centenas de milhares de fãs no Brasil e outros milhões na Argentina, viralizándose pelas redes sociais. A partir deste fenômeno, o artigo analisa a canção, as tradições musicaes e políticas nas que trabalha, e a relação entre música e nacionalidade que pode-se seguir a partir dessa análise; no mesmo sentido, debate essa relação na história da Copa do Mundo. O desempenho dos fãs argentinos torna-se, então, em um desempenho centralmente musical, no qual é possível ler a cultura do futebol Argentina, organizada pelo narcisismo e pela lógica do aguante. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/oidopensante/article/view/7454 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/oidopensante/article/view/7454/6669 El oído pensante; Vol. 3 No. 1 (2015): Febrero 2015 - Julio 2015 El oído pensante; Vol. 3 Núm. 1 (2015): Febrero 2015 - Julio 2015 El oído pensante; v. 3 n. 1 (2015): Febrero 2015 - Julio 2015 2250-7116 Football, Music and Narcisism: Some Speculations on “Brazil, Tell me How it Feels” Fútbol, música y narcisismo: algunas conjeturas sobre “Brasil, decime qué se siente” Futebol, música e narcisismo: algumas conjecturas sob “Brazil, me diz como se sente” info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=eloido&d=7454_oai
