This work had as its theme the musical distribution processes in the post-music industry period and “indie” era, with a specific focus on the musical practices of two singers from the independent music scene in the city of João Pessoa / PB. The work addressed a contextualization of the current moment, when cyberspace is used as an element of mediation. In this context, the musical distribution processes of the singers Nathalia Bellar and Val Donato were highlighted. They are figures very present in the pessoense musical scene, with a representative socio-cultural articulation of their artistic productions. Given this panorama, the objective of this work was to present and discuss the main relationships of the independent music scene of João Pessoa and its forms of musical distribution in cyberspace from the practices and perspectives of the singers Nathalia Bellar and Val Donato. The work is methodologically based on ethnographic research conducted between October 2019 and June 2020; and theoretically in studies in the field of ethnomusicology and related areas, aimed mainly at understanding the following aspects:1) the music scene defined by an extrinsic movement to “mainstreaming”; 2) independent music as a new order elaborated by the dictates of the “Homestudios” and a sound aesthetic production more in charge of the artist; 3) the conceptions of cyberculture and cyberspace, mainly from the perspective of the French philosopher Pierre Levy; 4) conceptions about expanded musical distribution for the idea of “circulation” in order to make the product more accessible; and 5) the “Long Tail” theory idealized by Chris Anderson that deals with digital distribution and the effect of “infinite shelves” in a virtual environment.The main field information produced is related to the musical distribution practices and concepts around the launch of the concept album called “Catavento”, by Nathalia Bellar, and the single “Abissal”, by Val Donato, highlighting the procedures adopted by them regarding mechanisms aimed at distributing their work in the digital sphere. Finally, the main results point to a diversified musical distribution process, articulated with: musical arrangement practices and music composition; establishing and maintaining partnerships; the independent music scene of the city; musical performances in different media; the representativeness of influences and artistic references; cooperative cultural practices in which they operate; and with contemporary socio-communicative media.
