Brazilian Manifestos II
GROUP MANIFESTO MUSICAL
Manifesto 1946
Statement of Principles
Music, by translating ideas and feelings into the language of sounds, is a means of expression;
therefore, a product of social life.
Musical art - like all other arts - appears as a superstructure of a regime whose
structure is of a purely material nature.
Musical art is the reflection of the essential in reality.
Intellectual production, using artistic means of expression, is a function of
material production and, therefore, is subject like this, to a constant transformation, to the
law of evolution.
Music is movement.
Music is life.
MUSICAL MANIFESTO, understanding this fact, fights for the music that reveals what
eternally new, that is to say, through a musical art that is the real expression of the time and of the
society.
"MUSICAL MANIFESTO" refutes the so-called academic art, a denial of art itself.
MUSICAL MANIFESTO, based on this fundamental principle, supports everything that favors the
birth and growth of the new, choosing revolution and rejecting reaction.
MUSICAL MANIFESTO, understanding that the artist is a product of the environment and that art only
it can flourish when the productive forces have reached a certain level of development,
will support any initiative in favor of an education that is not only artistic but also ideological.
well, there is no art without ideology.
MUSICAL MANIFESTO, understanding that the technique of music and construction
musical depends on the technique of material production, proposes the substitution of teaching
theoretical-musical based on aesthetic prejudices erected as dogmas, through a scientific teaching
based on studies and research of acoustic laws, and will support the initiatives that
favor the artistic use of radioelectric instruments.
"MUSICAL MANIFESTO" will stimulate the creation of new musical forms that correspond to
the new ideas, expressed in a contrapuntal-harmonic musical language, based on a
diatonic chromatism.
"MUSICAL MANIFESTO" rejects, at the same time, formalism, that is, art in which the
form becomes autonomous; because the form of the authentic artwork corresponds to the
content represented in it.
"MUSICAL MANIFESTO", understanding that the trend of "art for art's sake" arises in a
land of insoluble disagreement with the social environment, struggle for the utilitarian conception of the
art, that is to say, by the tendency to grant artistic works the meaning that they
corresponds to the social development and to the superstructure of art.
"MUSICAL MANIFESTO", adopting the principles of art-action, abandons as an ideal the
exclusive concern for beauty; for all the art of our time that is not organized
directly on the principle of utility, it will be disconnected from the real.
"MANIFIESTO MUSICAL" cree en el poder de la música como lenguaje sustancial, como etapa en
the artistic evolution of a people, and combating, on the other hand, false nationalism in music, is
to say, one who exalts feelings of nationalist superiority in its essence and stimulates the
egocentric and individualistic trends that separate men, creating forces

MUSICAL MANIFESTO believes in the socializing function of music, which is to unite people.

MUSICAL MANIFESTO, understanding the social and artistic importance of popular music,
will support any initiative aimed at developing and promoting the creation and dissemination of the good
popular music, combating the production of works harmful to artistic education

cooperation between artists and professional organizations, and understanding that the

professional and to promote the development of the collective artistic level; for art reflects the state
of sensitivity and the ability to coordinate the environment.
Aware of the mission of contemporary art in relation to human society, the group
"MUSICAL MANIFESTO" accompanies the present on its path of discovery and conquest,
fighting for the new ideas of a new world, believing in the creative power of the spirit
human and in the art of the future.
DANCE MANIFESTO
Your body begins before you do and it is the place of all the rituals that belong to you.
When you listen to your body through dance, you also hear the bodies and dances of
seduction and celebration of your ancestors and your species.
In your body, you carry the dances that will save you.
Whoever dances touches the other beyond the skin; touches their weight and their smell, defeats the touch screens and
erase the borders between bodies and nations.
It is necessary to live on both sides of history. To see poverty and wealth, landscapes and bodies.

officially allowed.
Dancing is the great antidote to the madness of humanity.
To every displaced person, refugee, and exile in the world, let us understand: you have a country that goes with you.
and that nothing and no one will be able to take away from you; the country of your body.

joy, sadness, that which touches our heart.
People dance to celebrate the crucial moments of their lives and our bodies carry the
weight of the memory of all possible human experiences.
We can dance alone and we can dance as a group. We can share what unites us, the
what sets us apart from one another.
For me, dancing is a way of thinking. Through dance we can embody the deepest ideas.

Ultimately, I think that each moment of dance is part of a larger function,
a choreographer that has no beginning or end.
