| Sumario: | Caetano Veloso and his song O quereres (“The wants”) are revisited in this study from the perspective of rebellion, applied here as a musicological lens. Assuming the need to adjust analysis criteria and analyzed objects, relationships between transgression discourses and musical choices are investigated. It is argued that contextual aspects, such as the songwriter’s life story, his diction, and his project for this song in particular, reverberate in different layers of O quereres, even being perceived in the way which their harmonic progressions are conceived. Thus, distinctions between progressions and successions are debated, and the interpretation of harmonies through the modal bias is problematized, finally signaling that the song requires a dense and attentive listening to its dysphorias. |
