This study examines the social appropriation of law through Brazilian music, seeking to understand how the legal phenomenon is perceived and represented in everyday life beyond technical-normative discourse. The central objective is to understand how certain musical compositions reflect and articulate legal meanings, highlighting the interaction between law and cultural experience. A qualitative, bibliographic, and interdisciplinary methodology is adopted, with a socio-musical and legal focus, based on the inductive method. The analysis focuses on three specific songs: Incompatibility of Geniuses, Direito é Direito, and Aluga-se um Barracão, which reveal how legal discourse is incorporated into cultural production. The theoretical framework is based on authors who conceive of law and music as converging social languages. The conclusion is that music constitutes a space for the construction of legal meanings, redefining law and integrating it into the social imaginary.
