Orgulho depois da vergonha: (re)construções identitárias em Orgunga, de Rico Dalasam

Abstract

The present master's dissertation aims to investigate the importance of rapper Rico Dalasam in the propagation, diffusion, and consolidation of queer rap in Brazil, as well as the artist's influence on providing access to other LGBTQIAPN+ voices within the genre entering the national territory. It also aims to demonstrate Dalasam's influence on other dissident musical scene artists, exploring the tensions that contributed to the formation of identity among black bixas individuals through the analysis of the album Orgunga (2016) and examining the artist's earlier and later works for an evidence based analysis. Furthermore, the study delves into the significance of the rapper's recognition in the racially marked national hip-hop scene (Teperman, 2015), and the resistance against homophobic violence through fervent protest that, in collaboration with pop, pop rock, and funk influences, shapes a new way of producing and consuming rap in contemporary times.
