Para além da roda: samba e seus frutos nos arredores campo-grandenses

Abstract

The present work proposes a dive into the universe of a group of young people who, through their love and identification with samba, launch themselves on the journey of holding events incircles, which will originate a center of black culture, in the extremities of the west of Rio de Janeiro, meaning an immersion in semiology that seeks a vertical reading of samba (SODRÉ, 1998). Aiming at the propagation and maintenance of the history of their ancestors, making useof the afrographies of their (MARTINS, 1997) the Centro de Cultura Negra Fruta do Pé, promotes a monthly samba circle, headed by its musical aspect, the group “Colete Curto”, in addition to offering percussion, capoeira and samba lessons to the community at affordable prices. The idea is not just to entertain, the search for knowledge and recognition of black history is the driving force of this group. We will get to know the project through the history ofits founder, Breno Batista, as well as his family, foundation and provider of this samba backyard, exploring its belonging to ethnic, racial and religious cultures (HALL, 2006).
