This essay shows how individuals approaching debates over citizenship, development, civil society, and problems of violence in Brazil evoke music as a kind of audiotopia (from Josh Kun, 2005)—or a sonic space of an imagined country where inequalities are leveled out. It explores these themes in a variety of contexts, such as a concert in Carnegie Hall; the work of Nega Gizza (of the urban hip-hop organization CUFA); music recordings associated with the Rural Landless Workers Movement (MST); a televised MPB song festival; and the cultural policies of the Lula administration. The essay traces a web of horizontal and vertical linkages between radically different sectors of Brazilian society and between cultural practices, social structures, and the state. Este artículo demuestra cómo es que los individuos implicados en éstos debates sobre ciudadanía, desarrollo, sociedad civil y problemas de violencia en Brasil evocan la música como si fuera un tipo de audiotopía (de Josh Kun, 2005)—o espacio sónico de un país imaginario en donde las desigualdades son equilibradas de cierta forma. Algunos de los contextos aquí explorados son: un concierto en Carnegie Hall, el trabajo musical de Nega Gizza (de una organización de origen hip-hop urbano, CUFA); grabaciones de canciones asociadas con el Movimiento de los Sin Tierra (MST); un festival televisado de la canción MPB; y las políticas culturales de la gestión presidencial de Lula. El artículo traza una red de eslabones horizontales y verticales entre sectores radicalemente diferentes, y entre costumbres culturales, estructuras sociales y el estado
