Forró pé de calçada: Identificando o nascimento de mestre ambrósio, um dos grupos mais autênticos do movimento manguebeat

Abstract

The present work seeks to analyze and historically reflect about the process of formation and trajectory, throughout the 1980s, of the group Mestre Ambrósio, from the city of Recife/PE, a band that was agglutinated in the so called mangue scene, or Manguebeat. Throughout our work, we try to present as main points: the formation of the band from 1992 on; the individual formation of each member, their influences; analysis of the main albums of the band, better saying the two first ones "Mestre Ambrósio 1996" and "Fua na Casa de Cabral 1998". We seek to present the formation and trajectory of the mangue movement, the subjects involved and the progresses that led to its consolidation, understanding the historical social and cultural process in Recife throughout the last century until the formation of the object presented. In this way, we highlight through the context presented, the way the movement agglutinated bands formed in the period, because they presented new ways of making music, making the fusion of genres the central point. The aesthetic development of the reception of the band's first two albums, from a process of listening and critical analysis, and the impacts generated in the communication channels and consequently in their appreciators. The debate, therefore, unfolds through the analysis of the albums, popular culture, performances, and influences regarding the band members.
