Abstract
In this essay, I focus on the international circulation of music as a globalizing force that allowed for the creation of a cosmopolitan culture in the early 1900s. My main goal is to offer insights into issues of cosmopolitan identities and popular musics in general, and in the Brazilian capital in particular. Rather than presenting early popular musics in Rio de Janeiro in their potential to display early signs of Brazilianness, I show the emergence of popular music in the city as part of a larger context of international urban culture. I am most interested in an emergent musical cosmopolitanism and in early examples of “world music” as ephemeral international fashions that can offer an alternative to the often historicized understandings of the role of music in identity politics of early twentieth-century Brazil.
