Resumo
Formado em 1981, na Vila Piauí, bairro periférico da Zona Norte de São Paulo, o Ratos De Porão (R.D.P.) transitou por diversos subgêneros da música extrema, além de inaugurar o crossover no Brasil. Oriundo do punk rock, o grupo nunca abandou características essenciais do movimento, como a atitude contestadora e as letras vinculadas à realidade social. Enquanto membros das classes trabalhadoras e subalternas, observaram a realidade e a narraram em sua obra de forma peculiar. Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar como o R.D.P. articula formas de representação de fatos históricos, sociais e de memória por meio de suas músicas, letras e capas de discos. Para tentarmos responder essa pergunta, optamos pela metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa, abordamos o estudo das composições musicais, das letras, de elementos gráfico-visuais de cinco discos, considerando a produção da banda no período de 1983 até 1989. O centro da análise é o disco Brasil (1989) onde podemos verificar representações mnemônicas da capa até as letras, além da definição sonora do crossover. Os referenciais teóricos que sustentam esta investigação são os estudos de música popular na comunicação, os estudos de memória na comunicação, a semiótica da cultura e a noção de representação dos estudos culturais. A investigação realizada permite afirmar que a obra do Ratos De Porão faz relações diretas com a realidade social. Isso significa que a arte do grupo, por meio da música, das letras e das capas de seus discos, constrói sentidos de memória a respeito do Brasil.
Formed in 1981, in Piauí village, a peripheral neighborhood in the North Zone of São Paulo, Basement Rets (In Portuguese: Ratos De Porão - R.D.P.) transited through several subgenres of extreme music, the band inaugurated the crossover in Brazil. Created in the bases of punk rock, the group never abandoned the essential characteristics of the movement, such as the defiant attitude and the lyrics linked to social reality. As members of the working and subaltern classes, they observe reality and narrate it in their work in a peculiar way. This work aims to investigate how the R.D.P. articulates forms of representation of historical, social and memory facts through its music, lyrics and album covers. To try to answer this question, we opted for a qualitative research methodology, we approached the study of musical compositions, lyrics, graphic-visual elements of five albums, considering the band's production in the period from 1983 to 1989. The theoretical references that support this investigation is the studies of popular music in communication, the studies of memory in communication, the semiotics of culture and the notion of representation in cultural studies. The realization states that the investigation of Basement Rets makes direct relationships with social reality. This means that the group's art, through the music, the lyrics and the covers of their records, built senses of memory about Brazil. The center of the analysis is the album Brasil (1989) where we can verify mnemonic representations from the cover to the lyrics, in addition to the sound definition of the crossover.
