A Arte cantada na escola: a resistência da cultura afro-brasileira nas práticas cotidianas

Abstract

This work focuses on the daily life of elementary schools through re-presentations of Afro-Brazilian cultural and musical resistance practices. As the main object of study, Music is understood as an artistic language in teaching. Some composers of musical rhythms that encompass Pop Funk and Samba stand out, such as Izabela Lima (Iza), Ubirajara Félix do Nascimento (Bira president) and João Nogueira. Based on the analysis of some highlighted lyrics, the importance of Music as an artistic manifestation of social appreciation of Afro-Brazilian culture is reinforced. The social, economic and environmental factors repercussed in the melodies also reflect on the school community - which contributes to a decolonial education. To this end, the narrative experiences and reports of students and teachers between the school years of 2022 and 2024 will be considered through Questionnaires, in a Municipal Elementary School located in Maricá, Rio de Janeiro. Considering Music as a resource for pedagogical strategy, the methodology is based on the studies of Conde (2013); Nogueira and Rodrigues (2013); Fusari and Ferraz (1993) in convergence with other authors such as DuArte (2020); Nunes (2020); Senna (2020); Silva (2020); Miranda (2019) and Oliveira (2019). As a pedagogical consequence, the educational product “Luara from sun to sound: Music as a tool for a decolonial education” is a digital e-Book to support other teaching actions in the field of Arts. The digital book is developed from Workshops and Conversation Circles linked to the Project “Music for all: Art sung at school and in the community” that dynamizes Music as a pedagogical language.
