Abstract

NOGUEIRA, Nilcemar; ANDRADE, Regina Glória Nunes  and  VASQUEZ, Georgie Echeverri. African ancestry of samba culture and identity. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.1, pp. 166-180. ISSN 2359-0769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5020/23590777.16.1.166-180.

The article deals with the process of configuring the black identities of the peoples of the African diaspora in Brazil, highlighting the places and contexts of emergence and the development of blackness as a concept. From this socio historical perspective, it makes reference to the construction of the Brazilian national identity pointing to the hybridization as tangible cultural phenomenon in the musical traditions. In this line of preservation of traditions, the text finally shows how samba in Rio was registered as intangible cultural heritage of Brazil, under the leadership of the Cartola Cultural Center, today the Samba Museum.

Keywords : culture; identity; blackness; hybridization; samba.
