Abstract

In this article we will follow the path presented by two sambas, assuming that by presenting the city of Rio de Janeiro, they express a sense of geography in their lyrics. As such, we will reflect on the presence of the city's popular geographies, mediated by the sambas: “Estação Derradeira” and “Geografia Popular”, unfolding notions such as corporeality, spatiality and urban dispute, in order to narrate the experience of the city through samba.
