Inês Caetano de Oliveira (Marinês) initiated her career as a forró singer in the year of 1957 and gained space in the national market as the Queen of Xaxado , image that links her to the Northeast Brazilian culture. On this research we consider the lyrics of the songs in her repertoire as literature, from an extended concept, attributed by the Cultural Studies, which cover several diverse cultural productions, as chained forms of meaning. In this manner we formulated the following researche question: How is the Northeast of Brazil represented in the lyrics in the songs of the singer Marinês? Due to this, our objectives were: To do a research on the phonographic production of the singer between the years of 1957 to 2007; analyze how the Northeast population and the Northeast are represented in the lyrics of theses songs; analyze the contribution and the trajectory of the singer to the Northeast popular culture. For the composition of the corpus to be analyzed in this project, we selected 22 songs that were recorded the most by the artist in the 50 years of her career, that appear at least twice in different albums and addresses the Northeast as a theme. This choice had as base a digital database elaborated for the development of this research, that identifies the titles of the song and the names of their composers, how many times they were recorded by the singer, in which album and year of the production. We did the analyses of the lyrics based on the themes that were recurrent topics about the region: Northeast identity, drought, rain, cultural practices, the relationship with other living beings and nature. During the research, we verified that the lyrics of her songs demonstrate important aspects for the production of knowledge about the region and the Northeast culture: religion, traditional customs and a sense of being . We conclude stating that the songs in Marinês repertoire configure a construction of regional identity, based in tradition, through representations valued positively, revealing the pride in being from the northeast.
