Discussion about concepts such as hybridism, musicality, friction and fusion of musicalities, and the topics of the Brazilian musicality. It aims at reflecting on the question of the change and transformation in musical genres, as much as that of the permanence of musical elements and figurations that, in its turn, carry socio-cultural and historical connections that are somehow experienced by musicians and audiences. Focusing on questions of the Brazilian music, this article presents the search for musical traces called topics ("brejeiro" [maliciously smart ], "época-de-ouro" [good times], and "nordestina" [northeasterly Brazilian]) as a tool to face the problem of the transformations in the world of music.
