'Música alegre' or 'música animada'.
In that case upbeat style = estilo optimista = optimistic style
.. which is the mood for that style of music... I think,
..and probably Billstpor is right.!!
I meant that upbeat is the style. sorry for not being clear on that.
I think that I 've heard the term "anacrusa" for the upbeat gesture of the maestro. That's the upward stroke made by a conductor to indicate the beat that leads into a new measure. The word for upbeat (music term) in English is anacrusis.
