Abstract

In this article, we analyse interviews with pioneering agents in the creation of rock’nroll festivals and music stores in Pernambuco in order to reconstruct the fragments of a sociability network related to this musical genre, in the 1970s. They all refer to remarkable situatons experienced at Humberto Brito’s house, an informal distributor of rare imported Long-plays in Recife. We use the category “cosmopolitan mediation”, elaborated from the contributions of Latour (2012), Silverstone (2002) and Robbins (1992) in order to understand how a certain taste and a specific way of relating to music are structured in that context.
