More than a poetry that re-root the most diverse memories of the sertanejo people, the activity of the singing viola became also a responsible of the political longings of this people. This qualitative and quantitative research, based on a cut of a Festival of Singers occurred in the city of Buenos Aires (PE), in August 2018, investigates - according of the sociology of Antonio Cândido – the relationship established between the triad author-poetry-public, henceforth A-P-P, during the improvisation performances, in a pre election period for the 2018 elections. For the performance and voice models follows that of Zumthor (1993). On the other hand, the ethnographic bases are in Geertz (2008). The data reveal that in the dynamic established in the triad A-P-P, in the improvisations, complex and subjective relations to happen between singers and the public, with this being able to interfere in all moments of improvisation.
