Espacialidades, cuerpos y tecnologías del forró electrónico. Avá [online]. 2017, n.31, pp.159-181. ISSN 1851-1694.

In 1940s and 1950s, Luiz Gonzaga’s rhythm called “forró” disseminated the modernist sensibility of the relationship between economic development, rural world and migration. This relationship defined Northeast as space and those who were born there as sons of the brazilian margins. Five decades later, new channels of distribution of signs spread a variation of the rhythm. The images of tradition give place to a pop rhythm, accompanied by electric guitars, shows with LCD screens, light cannons and dry ice smoke. The “electronic forró” presented by the technology images of the transformation of the rhythm. In the audience, new selves production technologies articulate the space of the shows in a creative way, identifying possibilities of being / possessing what extrapolates the limits of the places of origin. In these complex calculations between space, rhythm, technology and consumer goods, female bodies work as diacritical signals to evidence possibilities of the subjects present there.
