• Resumen

  • This article wants to make a contribution to the study of musical processes of expressive lusophone culture in a digital age. It analyzes selected cultural entrepreneurs that use the web to navigate and disseminate the cultures of Portuguese-speaking countries, often explicitly utilizing the concept of “lusofonia”. Given the influential call for a “lusophone musical identity” by the 2006 documentary Lusofonia, a (r)evolução, these actors can be understood as examples of socialization and negotiation that transcend national boundaries of memory and representation. An ethnomusicological analysis can explain the role of music - disseminated through soundclouds, podcasts and YouTube videos - in the articulation of these processes.
