What happens when music and literature meet? How does a literary project convert itself into music? And what if music itself turns into literature? We will address these and other issues in order to answer the question posed by literary critic and musician Jose Miguel Wisnik: how does it happen that in Brazil a popular singer like Caetano Veloso can be the most profound critic of its major writer, Guimaraes Rosa? And what if that criticism is nothing but a song? From the act of listening to music to the close reading of literature, we will try to understand why Brazil is so often identified as a richly "musical" country.
