Abstract The article is part of the studies on imaginary, identities and social relations and aims to recognize the bands of music from Rio de (Brazil) beyond their interpretations and repertoire, seeking to understand and reflect on their imaginary and social relationships, taking as a case of I study the Sociedade Musical Beneficente Euterpe Friburguense. To achieve this objective, methodologically, a cross-reference search for information was developed in previously constructed databases: correspondence and news archives of local newspapers, a list of the scores collection and 14 interviews. Thus, we verify that the band's past has great importance in the elaboration of its imagination, intertwining feelings of identity and family. Social relations and their changes are manifested in the exaltation of its importance for the city and in the rivalry with the Friburguense Peasant Beneficent Musical Society.
