Abstract

This text proposes an analysis of the dialog between two apparently distinct structures: the Brazilian Northeast and monogamy. To do this, it uses terms from both the monogamous and Northeastern grammars, exploring the convergences and divergences of these entities through music. The musical genre chosen as the object of study is forró, that stood out as a rhythm that spoke the truths about the Brazilian Northeast. The Brazilian Northeastern region began to be created from the interests of the elite, shaping a regional profile represented by the figure of the virile sertanejo male. This representation, in turn, has repercussions on ways of relating affectively and sexually, conferring male protagonism and decisions over women's bodies, beyond to influence lifestyles and partnerships. In this context, it can be seen that not only does the Northeast produce a narrative about monogamy, but monogamy also plays an active role in the invention of the Brazilian Northeast.
