The musical scene “blues” of Fortaleza 1989-1992: the first moments of Blues Pai D’Égua

Abstract

This text aims to analyze the first moments of the so-called “blues” music scene in Fortaleza, between the years 1989 and 1992. In this space of action marked by a musical production and later, in the second half of the 1990s, seriously symbolically called Blues Pai D'Égua, we highlight the following contributions to the development and implementation of the “blues” in Fortaleza. As for its early years, a music scene gradually integrated and highlighted in a musical context strengthened through public growth, increased shows or the emergence of artists who participate in different shows in places like a Kafua tent (in the coastal region of the city), specifically at Praia do Futuro). Still on this music scene, it identifies its connection with movements linked to "rock and roll", because the presence of agents that produce these two musical genres means acting for these productions. Interconnected, they (through the subjects involved) build a young and restless Fortaleza. To theoretically foster text, present the concept of a music scene; in methodological terms of evidence, mainly the hemerographic materials based on reports from the newspapers O Povo and Diário do Nordeste (newspapers of great circulation in Ceará).
