An analysis will be proposed about the relationship between music and literature by Brazilian singer-songwriter and writer Chico Buarque, winner in 2019 of the Camões Award, the most importarnt literary recognition of the Lusophone world. A multifaceted intellectual figure, Chico Buarque ranges from music, theater, to narrative with a sharp and critical outlook aimed at Brazilian society. In every area he deals with, the author combines the accuracy of the language, in which poetry and music go hand in hand, meaningful themes and precise reflections in which the contradictions of his country come to surface.
