From colonial times to the present day, the guitar in Brazil has had a close trajectory with the country’s history. Protagonist in the construction of a national identity, as investigated by Marcia Taborda, presupposes that it culminated in a guitar stereotype, in the late 1950s. However, a time of substantial importance for what happened is the Golden Age of Radio in Brazil, a period that contributed to the creation of Brazilian popular music (supported by radio broadcasting and the music market in the first half of the 20th century) through industrial production and organizers vehicles that helped shape icons. The present investigation intends to discuss the construction of an imaginary for the Brazilian guitar, through documentary research, through the analysis of social networks and with support to the iconography created for the phonographic industry of the time. Speaking about issues of cultural/national identity, collective memory, within the scope of the radio period, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, more specifically between the 1930s and 1960s, and taking into account economic, political and cultural factors, try to indicate a network of influences that helped spread a Brazilian image in the radio and phonographic environments, reaching the international scene.
