The present research seeks to discuss and understand the role of Brazilian music, from a communication perspective, facing issues of representation and trans protagonism in contemporary mediatized society. In this sense, the project presents itself as a qualitative exploratory research proposal of the themes imbricated in the problematic, making necessary the use of a weave of methods and techniques such as theoretical-bibliographic revision, systematic observation observation, documentary research and oral history ( HO). The research interacts with the band As Bahias and Cozinha Mineira, trying to understand how the trans people organize their experiences from the media protagonism of the band. The power that music has to deconstruct the walls and barriers that effectively segregate is perceived here, that the visibility of trans bodies is not enough to remove these people from marginality, but that it is an important form of visibility for realize that the identities and presences of these bodies need to be humanized and naturalized in the occupation of spaces. Representativity, here, is the act of these trans bodies becoming present.
