A unique trajectory through Rio Grande do Sul rock

This book is the result of my master's thesis. It was an arduous but at the same time pleasurable work on the meanings of work for a professional musician, specifically a rock musician. Based on the figure of Fughetti Luz (1947), one of Brazil's most respected rockers, who began his career in Rio Grande do Sul, but went on to gain national recognition, taking part in festivals and performing with other groups such as Os Mutantes, for example, another national rock icon. This study is not a biography, but a socio-historical analysis of the professional work of a musician, and from this theme I propose interlocutions with the history and sociology of national and international rock. In addition to the social and cultural aspect, it is an aesthetic work, so much so that there are contributions from the field of Art Psychology, because when we talk about the professional work of the musician, we cannot forget his process of artistic creation, which is one of the focuses of Art Psychology. This is an interdisciplinary essay that seeks to escape academic hermeticism and offer the general reader the aesthetic pleasure of reading, using accessible language that is grounded in theory.
