Abstract

Based on articles published in traditional media and socioeconomics information of the territory, as well as field observations, conversations and semi-structured interviews (with leaders, residents, authorities, producers and jazz fans), the aim of this study is to evaluate the role of music (along with oil royalties) in the level of development reached by the town of Rio das Ostras (in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro). In other words, it seeks to rethink the relevance of the renowned Jazz and Blues Festival of Rio das Ostras in the processes of re-signification of this place, that is, the capacity of this musical event to contribute to the social integration of the territory (increasing the synergies between the actors and institutions of this region), the generation of new jobs and a significant improvement in the quality of life and well-being of the local population.
