Abstract

The purpose of this article is to reflect upon some aspects of the youngster socialization coming from the musical
language. The proposal is to highlight the integration dimension of this language and its capacity in constructing identities. To take the cultural products, the music in this case,
in their social dimension it is to consider their liaison links between the individual and the society; it is to redeem them in
their quality of communication instruments between the universe of ours subjectivities and the objective reality that encircle us. Thus, the music has a power of a socialization
force. In others words, to take the music from a sociological perspective it is to elucidate the potential of this language
in the construction and mediation of the codes and the meanings of a collective and its power to compose our subjectivity.
