DOIAbstract
Popular music has played a significant role in contemporary Portuguese history, leaving its mark, for instance, in the musical passwords that led to the Carnation Revolution. Assuming that the representations and discourses associated with popular music are significant from a historical point of view, this article aims to examine how the Portuguese Song Festival reflected, narrated and transformed the Portuguese political and cultural situation after the Carnation Revolution. The objective is to interpret a set of themes, from the poetic, sonorous and performative point of view, that were symptomatic of the political and cultural changes that took place in Portugal in the transition from the 1970s to the early 80s
