This essay studies the work of Modernist poet Mário de Andrade from the perspective of its ambivalent relation with the popular music of its time. This essay proposes that, despite the fact that Brazilian Literary Modernism and the urban popular music that emerged at the same time converge only later on, they must be studied in conjunction if they are to be fully understood. This essay focuses on the way in which the notion of “syncopation” articulates complex relations between rhythm, nationality, popular and high culture in Andrade’s work, which can be read as metaphors of contradictions at the core of Brazilian modernity.
