MATOS, Robson Kleber de Souza  and  BELEM, Rosemberg Cavalcanti. Music: forming tribes, constituting social identities. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2019, vol.14, n.1, pp. 1-14. ISSN 1809-8908.

In this work we investigated to what extent the construction of the social identity is related to the choice of a certain musical follow-up by young people of a tribe. Through this objective, we look for to reflect on other issues related to it, namely: how does the process of integration of a particular tribe by these young people take place? How do they, through their group, construct representations of the other groups, of their own group and of themselves? How do you give the social practices of these individuals - both in the ingroup and in the outgroup? To meet these objectives, semi-structured interviews with different subjects of some musical tribes were carried out, which were later analyzed qualitatively through thematic analysis categories based on Tajfel's Social Identity Theory and which showed how music can function as a composer of urban tribes and consequently of social identities.

Keywords : Music; Urban tribes; Social identities.
