Summary/Abstract: considered to deviate from prescribed norms. Music has been scrutinised in comparable ways by religious and secular institutions due to its emotional appeal. Thus, in this article, I will analyse two songs by António Variações, entitled Canção de Engate and Onda Morna that present a subliminal homoerotic theme. I will draw attention on this article to how music is used by Variações to express non‑normative sexualities and desires and how this facilitated expressions of queerness and queer identity.
