Historiography has commonly understood Rio de Janeiro as the epicenter of Brazilian phonography. The historical sources that have been recently explored, however, reveal that the city of São Paulo was also involved in the recorded music market from a very early age. Phonographs circulated throughout the capital of São Paulo with relative ease at the end of the 19th century. In the first years of the following century, the effervescent commerce of São Paulo saw new sound technologies emerge as a product that was here to stay. The city's inclusion in transnational and local networks for the purchase and sale of phonographic products gradually changed the way its inhabitants listened, and it promoted the cosmopolitanization of the coffee capital.
