This work approaches many aspects of the entertainment universe in Rio de Janeiro during the decades of the 1920s and 1930s, considering its articulation not only with the music but also with the popular musicians.The thread of this study is the personal trajectory of the composer, instrumentalist, arranger and conductor Alfredo Vianna da Rocha Filho -Pixinguinha -, who has taken part in many activities of the entertainment universe in Rio de Janeiro.The path is long: from the "cafés-concerto" to the radio, with a long pause in the phonographic industry.As a point of departure, our study presupposes that the popular music has taken more than a relevant part in this context.From the "rodas de choro" to the Catete's Palace, from the "morro" to the recording studios, popular music was noticed in many places of the town, revealing some of the dilemmas faced by the country in that period: modern or typical?black or white?folk or popular?The listening of the composer is here highlighted as our object of analysis, which can be revealed through Pixinguinha's compositions, interpretations and above all through his arrangements, which allow us to listen to his listening, and to figure out the ways of insertion as well as the obstacles that the musician had to face up to in this universe subjected to constant transformations
