Brega Music

In the face of globalisation we are faced with an infinity of musical repertoires mixed together generating an excess of signs which ends up causing an overlap of musical genres. The brega musical aesthetic is no exception to this rule and merges with a multitude of other musical references which ends up causing a mishmash of rhythms and trends generating countless confusions when we try to construct rigid and definitive definitions of which artists and bands we can classify as belonging to the brega music repertoire. However we can see that although brega music does not have delimited boundaries as a musical aesthetic it does have its own characteristics which even if they don't have clear boundaries demonstrate how territorialised this musical universe can be. Brega music at the same time that it escapes our comprehension manages to be understood; it reveals itself and disappears. Brega music is a visible ghost.
