The national carnival schools joined elements of previous and co-existing carnival scene is characterized by intense cultural exchange, including groups – ranchos (marching groups), blocos (blocs) and rivalry, mutual assistance and fertile inter-influencing, whose grandes sociedades (great societies). They soon became the motives may be a desire for mutual differentiation or a search stars of Rio’s carnival, providing a decisive reference point for for affinities, closer partnerships and adaptations. We will the construction of collective identities. The urban expansion 53 fanning out to the suburbs and outskirts was closely followed The sixties and seventies brought with them marked by the emergence of samba schools as a form of community transformations that led to the commercialization and association which used carnival as a means to foster socializing spectacular visual display that today is recognized as the and leisure activity in the surrounding area. At the same parade’s hegemonic standard. The construction of the time, the annual parade held in the center of the city brought Passarela do Samba (the samba runway popularly known as together diverse neighborhoods and mixed different social the sambadrome) in 1984 registered the apogee of the city’s classes, reinvigorating the atmosphere of carnival with this samba school explosion. Currently, the parade possesses new form of celebrating. Midway through the 20th century, six divisions, totaling about 75 samba schools in all. The the expansion of the middle and lower classes and their socio- premier division is represented by the Independent League of cultural interaction, along with the growing presence of the Samba Schools4, and is home to 14 samba schools that march jogo do bicho (animal game - a kind of popular lottery) in the through the sambadrome on Sunday and Monday nights. urban peripheral region as well as the center, were reflected in The sambadrome has seating for some 60,000 people, and carnival’s new organization.

Therefore, calculating and problems, its different social actors. just those directly involved in the event, around 170,000 Within this equally agitated and animated context, the persons are gathered for this group’s performance.

Carnival 2003 featured the long-established Portela, with its vast 80 years of experience, representing the earliest days of the emergence of samba schools in the city.

  • Estão Querendo Tirar Meu Nome Do Samba: Benito Di Paula E Sua (Não) Consagração No Campo Da Música Popular Brasileira
    864 ESTÃO QUERENDO TIRAR MEU NOME DO SAMBA: BENITO DI PAULA E SUA (NÃO) CONSAGRAÇÃO NO CAMPO DA MÚSICA POPULAR BRASILEIRA Adelcio Camilo Machado Universidade Estadual de Campinas – UNICAMP Mestrado em Música Etnomusicologia SIMPOM: Subárea de Etnomusicologia Resumo Fruto de uma pesquisa mais ampla de mestrado, ainda em andamento, intitulada “Quem te viu, quem te vê: o sambão-joia da década de 1970”, este texto está centrado na figura de Benito di Paula, procurando entender as peculiaridades de sua inserção no cenário da música popular brasileira durante a referida década. Apesar da grande vendagem de seus discos entre os anos de 1974, quando se deu sua primeira aparição nas pesquisas de discos mais vendidos, e o final da década, atingindo números comparáveis aos de outros sambistas que conseguiram se consagrar no campo da MPB como Martinho da Vila, Paulinho da Viola e Clara Nunes, nota-se que Benito não é considerado pela historiografia da música popular brasileira como um importante representante do samba ou da MPB, sendo normalmente esquecido pela bibliografia ou pela discografia destes segmentos musicais. Portanto, através da análise de um dos primeiros sucessos de Benito, a canção “Retalhos de cetim”, gravada em seu LP “Um novo samba” de 1974, composta e interpretada por ele, buscaremos perceber algumas características de seu estilo enquanto cancionista, procurando identificar a presença de elementos alheios à tradição consagrada do samba ou da MPB, compreendendo de que maneira isso pode influenciar no grau de consagração artística alcançado por Benito. Com isso, mais do que estudar a obra deste sambista em específico, este texto pode contribuir para que melhor se entenda o campo da música popular brasileira durante a década de 1970, refletindo sobre questões como tradição, memória e lutas simbólicas.

  • Memória E Identidade Dos Movimentos Sociais Na Zona Oeste Carioca
    MEMÓRIA E IDENTIDADE DOS MOVIMENTOS SOCIAIS NA ZONA OESTE CARIOCA * WILLIAM DE SOUZA VIEIRA 1-INTRODUÇÃO A Zona Oeste da cidade do Rio de Janeiro consiste em uma região que abrange diversos e diferentes bairros, como por exemplo: Jacarepaguá, Campo Grande, Barra da Tijuca, Sepetiba, entre outros. Essa diferença pode ser percebida para além da questão geográfica, histórica e até cultural, ela é percebida também na maneira como a Zona Oeste encontra-se fragmentada, principalmente se compararmos bairros como Barra da Tijuca e Paciência, além da diferença presente no IDH desses dois bairros, observamos outras significativas, relativas, por exemplo, a questão da oferta de alternativas de lazer e espaços culturais. Enquanto que na Barra da Tijuca encontramos pelo menos duas dezenas de salas de cinema em Paciência, Cosmos e Inhoaíba, por exemplo, não existe cinema, nem teatro, o que efetivamente limita aos moradores o acesso a este tipo de espaço de lazer e de transmissão cultural. A Zona Oeste corresponde a cerca de 60% da área do município do Rio de Janeiro e abriga mais de 2 milhões de habitantes, abrangendo bairros populosos como Campo Grande, com mais de 250 mil moradores e que apresenta atualmente um crescimento populacional significativo, ou então regiões afastadas do centro da cidade como Sepetiba, por exemplo. Presente na história da cidade desde a sua ocupação no século XVI a região se destacou pelo seu papel associado à produção agrária e abastecimento da região central. A ocupação ocorreu de forma desordenada, como em quase toda a cidade. Até a primeira metade do século passado predominava na região um cenário rural, vale lembra que a Zona Oeste já foi chamada de sertão carioca, zona rural até ganhar a nomenclatura de Zona Oeste.

  • The Traditional Samba School Dance As a Performative Experience
    The traditional samba school dance as a performative experience Renata de Sá Gonçalves Universidade Federal Fluminense Rio de Janeiro – RJ – Brasil [email protected] The anthropologist Evans-Pritchard criticizes that in ethnological approaches dance is often viewed as an independent activity and is described without reference to its contextual setting in native life (PRITCHARD, 1928). In his analysis of the Zande beer dance, the author emphasizes that dance always requires a stereotyped form, a prescribed mode of performance, concerted activities, recognized leadership and elaborate organization and regulation. Howard Becker talking about music, literature, theatre, dance and all the possible arts lightened not the artist genius but the collective activities and social conventions that composes an art world and operates a social system (BECKER, 1982). The main objective of this communication is to demonstrate that the Rio samba school carnival, as a collective activity, configures itself as a “popular art world” with specific rules, procedures and evaluation criteria composing his owns aesthetic conventions that are communally made and experienced. In this world, the samba school directory, the school members, the competition jury committee, the critics, the media, the researchers and finally, the audience act together. I will restrict the present analysis to a dance performed by a special couple in the Rio samba school parades - the couple of major-domo or “mestre- sala” 1 and flag-bearer or “porta-bandeira” 2 - as a representative example of an idea of tradition. Who are the couple? The ambiguous character of this couple is defined by its specific dance that is slower than the samba rhythm, by their typical acts, gentle gestures, positions, looks, smiles, improvisation and by their antique customs.

  • Corpos Desfilantes De Joãozinho Da Goméia
    ISSN:1984-9540 DOI: 10.12957/periferia.2020.55012 CANDOMBLÉS E CARNAVAIS: CORPOS DESFILANTES DE JOÃOZINHO DA GOMÉIA Leonardo Augusto Bora1 Gabriel Haddad Gomes Porto2 Vinícius Ferreira Natal3 RESUMO O trabalho investiga a presença de Joãozinho da Goméia enquanto “destaque de luxo” em desfiles de escolas de samba da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, no final da década de 1960 e no início da década de 1970. Objetiva-se, com isso, o estabelecimento de conexões entre o universo dos “barracões” das religiões de matrizes africanas e a complexidade dos “barracões” das agremiações carnavalescas. De início, as relações históricas entre escolas de samba, cosmogonias negro-africanas e sociabilidades de terreiros são problematizadas, com base em proposições teóricas de nomes como Paul Gilroy e Muniz Sodré. Num segundo momento, a partir da prospecção bibliográfica e do recorte de fragmentos jornalísticos, são apresentados apontamentos sobre a importância dos destaques de carnaval, com ênfase em personagens desempenhados por João da Goméia em desfiles de 1969 e 1970, em escolas como Império Serrano, Império da Tijuca e Imperatriz Leopoldinense. Depois, as lentes investigativas são direcionadas para a reinterpretação visual de algumas fantasias utilizadas pelo Babalorixá, conforme o proposto no decorrer do desfile de 2020 do GRES Acadêmicos do Grande Rio, cujo enredo Tata Londirá: o Canto do Caboclo no Quilombo de Caxias dedicou um “setor” (o equivalente a um capítulo de uma narrativa) aos corpos desfilantes do personagem homenageado. Conclui-se, por fim, que João da Goméia pode ser compreendido enquanto agente mediador que transitava por círculos culturais distintos, mesclando, na sua corporeidade carnavalesca, os saberes trocados nos terreiros de Candomblé e as vivências nas quadras (outrora chamadas “terreiros”) e nos barracões do “maior show da Terra”.

  • “O Que É Que a Bahiana Tem”--Carmen Miranda (1939) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Katherine Bishop-Sanchez (Guest Post)*
    “O Que é que a Bahiana tem”--Carmen Miranda (1939) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Katherine Bishop-Sanchez (guest post)* Carmen Miranda Early label In 1938, the Brazilian actress and popular singer Carmen Miranda (1909-1955) starred in her fifth Brazilian produced film, “Banana da Terra” (Sonofilms) and performed, among several musical numbers, the samba “O que é que a baiana tem?” composed by Dorival Caymmi. This samba would become Miranda’s signature song, indelibly connecting the Brazilian singer to the figure of the baiana or Afro-Brazilian woman from Bahia. In Brazil, Miranda recorded the song with Dorival Caymmi at Odeon Records in 1938, and then again with her band, Bando da Lua, at Decca USA, in December 1939. The title of this song can be translated as “What does the girl from Bahia have?” making reference to the Afro-Brazilian women from Bahia who can be seen in urban centers throughout Brazil selling their savory dishes on street corners. Their typical dress includes a wide, often white, hooped skirt, a loose-fitting cotton blouse trimmed with wide lace, a striped shawl draped over the shoulder or around the waist, a turban, sandals, and numerous necklaces and bracelets. The typical baiana dress is a staple of Carnival festivities, candomblé religious ceremonies and other religious festivities throughout Brazil such as the popular festivals of Bonfim in Salvador, Bahia. A large ensemble of women dressed as baianas has been one of the most important wings of official samba school Carnival parades since the early 1930s. Carmen Miranda’s performance of “O que é que a baiana tem?” in “Banana da Terra” became memorable because of the synergy between her costume and the lyrics of the song.
