This article develops the problem of relations between the rock and Brazilian national identity. It does an abstract of the arrival of rock in Brazil and the emergence of Brazilian rock subgenres. It aims to dissolve the idea of national identity and to see how rock is related to social groups that have nothing to do with the borders delineated by States and follow a different logic of group attraction. It still aims to approach specific values engaged on music creation and the relation of rock with an aesthetic of sensibility connected to everyday life. Finally, it develops the idea of music as a form of articulation of a non-verbal speech that points to the transfiguration of politics world.
