Sumario:In 1973 a group of young people performed for the first time in Teresina the show U dy grudy... or as Daniel Más says, referred to in the press as the “first show set up in Piauí”. In addition to musical performances, it included readings of poems, theatrical interventions and scenic improvisations that mixed Brazilian archaisms and cultural modernities in a kind of tropicalist-countercultural happening. This article intends to highlight ― rather than think about the influences of Tropicalism and counterculture on the periphery of the national cultural goods market ― the symbolic appropriations and fabrications in the production and creation process of this event. It also pretends to show how popular music was taken as an expression not only of aesthetic consumption or entertainment, but, at same time, as an instrument of critical elaboration and vehicle for proposing visions of the world in the Brazilian art panorama of those years. In such context, U dy grudy can be seen as a prelude of the constitution of the modern Piauiense popular song.
