Available literature on instrumental popular music focuses on North American jazz, however there is much to be explored and released concerning the material produced and published in Brazil about MPBI, particularly on double bass. Authors such as Piedade (2005) and Cirino (2009) discuss the scarce available literature and ponder on improvisation in overall Brazilian music. These authors' ideas are references to this work, which deepens their proposed discussion of improvisation and spreads it to double bass improvisation, mostly in interpretation of Brazilian genres. This paper's main goal is to discuss the use of rythmic cells and idiomatic melodies in improvisation for Brazilian genres baião, choro and samba. The work's methodology is made up of three main steps: 1) literary review in Portuguese and English; 2) selection and discussion of elements through hearing of audiovisual recordings, 3) applying selected elements to improvisation on popular themes’s excerpts. The work will also bring appendixes with full sheets for the defense recital and audio samples for the suggested improvisations. The research's final results (final product for concluding the Master's Degree in Music course) are presented in two parts: the defense recital (including themes with MPBI improvisation), which presents the research-originated artistic product, and the scientific article’s defense, which records the process of research itself.application/pdfAcesso abertoMúsica Popular Brasileira Instrumentalperformance musicalimprovisação e contrabaixo acústicoInstrumental Brazilian Popular Musicmusic performanceimprovisation and acoustic bassARTES::MUSICADissertação
