In this brief article I discuss my proposal for application of Topic Theory in the case of Brazilian music as developed in publications from the late 1990s. I intend to show how this perspective was developed, which combines the anthropological and musicological perspectives, through the examination of some critical points and limitations of this theory. Starting with the investigation of Brazilian jazz, I comment on aspects of Rhetoric and Nationalism and, finally, I deal with Topic Theory. The article ends by highlighting the challenges for the study of music signification today.
