Abstract

Current investigation analyzes hegemonic themes in the music of electronic forró (Brazilian dance). The critical theory of Theodor W. Adorno and Cultural Studies revealed: a) the main thematic patterns and clichés of the genre; b) the meanings of these thematic patterns; c) and some hypothetical implications for the consumer. The above implies certain relations of domination reinforced in and by the consumption of the electronic forró.
