The purpose of this work has as its specific object the character of Carmen Miranda, Brazilian singer, actress and comedian, as symbolic representation of national identity, since the beginning of his artistic career, in Rio de Janeiro, and representations of Latin America in the United States, from 1939. As general goals, enter it in the context in which the popular expressions and Afro-Brazilian united, for the consolidation of "invention of samba” as cultural heritage. Carmen Miranda was the main female figure who contributed in the construction of these agencies, to the emergence of what would become the Brazilian popular music. Giving voice to the Samba and Carnival songs produced by composers of the Hill and white composers, as well as being one of the main stars of the first sound films, called Carnival. The essence of this work is by the "Baroque performance" of Carmen Miranda, in the corner and on fantasy of the international baiana, in addition to the analysis of international letters played, having as support, theorists like: Severo Sarduy (1979, 1989.1999), Eugene D ´ Ors (1990), Omar Calabrese (1987), José Antonio Maravall (2009), Irlemar Chiampi (1998), Afonso Avila (1997), Afranio Coutinho (1994), Gilles Deleuze (1995 , 2005, 2009 and 2012), as well as scholars of the "samba". From these premises, we intend to finish the job, proposing that Carmen, through its international baiana, creates new symbolic signs on the concept of nation and the Latin American identity, turning that fantasy, recycling, gathering in its performativity, elements of popular culture, Baroque, resized by the excess, the caricature, the waste, luxury and styling. Catalyst character of opinions of unanimity and divergence, regarding the title of "Ambassador of Samba", she takes anthropophagously, of Brazilian culture (internal) and americana (external), bringing a new, unique, neo-Baroque, original, later becoming a myth of the two Nations.
