Paulo Costa Lima is a senior Brazilian composer and music theorist, which has won more than 20 national and international Prizes and Comissions along his career. A member of the Brazilian Academy of Music, Lima's main interest is the interaction between composition and culture, including its political aspects, namely composition as a way of resisting colonization and against the "waste of experience," the traditional circuit in which ideas (theory) are produced elsewhere and absorbed by the peripherical South of the Globe, as if the experience of populations in the periphery would be incapable of producing theory grounded musical practices. Lima's publications are on topics such as the theory and pedagogy of musical composition, analysis and history of Brazilian contemporary music analysis of Brazilian popular songs, the possible dialogue between music and psychoanalysis, and cultural semantics. Lima's compositional interests include the rhythmic tradition of the Candomblé. From 2020 on, Lima has been posting short video analysis of brazilian popular songs generating great interest in the social media, leading to a public of more than 200.000 people
