Abstract
This research project is an ethnomusicological approach to the practices of musical expressions that were intrinsically linked to political parties and ideological organizations in Portugal, comprising a period that started in the military coup of the 25th April 1974, and that marks the beginning of the Carnation Revolution; until 1979, a year marked by legislative and municipal elections that break the dominance of the political left in Portugal. Taking into account the particularities and the profound changes that the country experienced in these five years of the Revolution, my research addresses the role of different forms of musical expression during the revolutionary context and the process of democratization that followed, seeking to explore the ways in which musical practices designated as "protest song" or "intervention song”, among others, were set up in this period and were associated with a set of values ​​profusely related to the historical context that was experienced in Portugal.
