  • Afro-Brazilian Songs and Rhythms for General Music K-8
    Dr. Christopher H. Fashun Assistant Professor of Music, Hope College ([email protected]) Afro-Brazilian Songs and Rhythms for General Music K-8 Candomblé: The Afro-Brazilian Religion of Bahia Candomblé is the Afro-Brazilian religion of Brazil that originated in the state of Bahia in northeast Brazil. It is part of the religion and culture of the Africa diaspora, which include the religions of Cuban Santeria and Vodun of Haiti. Although the spellings and pronunciations of the deities (called orixás in Candomblé) are different between the countries due to syncretism and miscegenation, they have a shared tradition of rituals, songs, rhythms, mythology, worship, and social and cultural context. Of the approximate 10 million Africans that were enslaved and brought to the Americas, 4 million of those landed in Brazil. During the years of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade (1500-1850), Africans were taken from 3 different regions. Candomblé originated in the state of Bahia and its capital city of Salvador as a result of the concentration of enslaved Africans. The religious traditions of the enslaved Africans were founded on practices from Central and West Africa, who believed in a single god that was accompanied by a pantheon of deities called Orixás. Due to the mixing of the different tribal and cultural groups, the slaves were allowed to form irmandades, which were social organizations of Catholic lay brotherhoods that allowed the slaves to gather together from their points of origin in Africa. As a result of oppression, the enslaved Africans disguised their worship by syncretizing the orixás and religious rituals with the saints of Catholicism.

  • African Influence in Brazilian Music: Samba Welson Tremura
    African Influence in Brazilian Music: Samba Welson Tremura Introduction Although we are strongly influenced by Afro-Brazilian heritage, we know very little about their extensive contribution to Brazilian culture. Without question, samba is the most popular musical style and genre ever produced for carnaval in Brazil. The word samba is derived from the Bantu word semba, or belly button. In Africa, entire villages gathered in circles to sing and dance with the opportunity to show their abilities and knowledge of their musical and dance heritage. After each participant completed his or her turn, another member of the group was invited with the dance pattern semba or “belly button touch,” to take his or her place. Like the word batuque (drumming), samba was first associated with any type of popular celebration1. There are those who feel that the lundu, a dance of African origin in Brazil since the shipment of slaves from Angola, is the true musical parent of the samba2. Others theorize that slaves and ex-slaves brought an early form of samba to Rio from Bahia in the nineteenth century “because of the decline in the fortunes of tobacco and cocoa plantations in Bahia state, and because of two important new laws: the Law of the Free Womb in 1871 (which declared all children born to slaves as free), and Brazil’s abolition of slavery in 1888”3. Thus, internal migration took place and the Afro-Brazilian population had the opportunity to move south with their musical traditions. Drumming (1835), by Johann Moritz Rugendas. 1 Enciclopédia da Música Brasileira: Erudita, Folclórica e Popular 1977: 684 2 McGowan & Pessanha 1991: 28 3 Ibid 1 Another theory of the roots of samba is also associated with the ranchos, which is the Portuguese word to describe a group of people.

  • 265 CONCLUSÃO Até Que Se Empreenda Nova
    265 CONCLUSÃO Até que se empreenda nova pesquisa sobre a permanência no Brasil de artistas- virtuoses, no período cronológico estudado, conclui-se que esta pesquisa tem substância documental e analítica suficientes para se afirmar que Arthur Napoleão teve um grande impacto no desenvolvimento de instituições e de atividades de carácter artístico e pedagógico na cena musical brasileira na segunda metade do século XIX e primeiras décadas do século XX. A atuação de Arthur Napoleão, no Segundo Império e nas décadas iniciais da República brasileira, sobretudo seus inúmeros concertos em diversos locais e clubes, foi fundamental para a propagação do culto ao instrumento e ao seu repertório, numa época em que a ópera imperava no país, como principal gênero de apreço. O pianista-compositor manteve trânsito intenso entre o Brasil e as principais capitais européias, em especial Londres e Paris. Ele dinamizou o mercado editorial brasileiro não só com a performance da música de outros pianistas-compositores, mas também com a edição de obras pianísticas executadas nos principais centros artísticos da Europa. Como pianista, Napoleão seguiu a trajetória de muitos pianistas europeus de sucesso, ou seja, primeiro como menino prodígio, depois como virtuose que se apresentava em diversas cidades e, por último, como proprietário de casa editorial e pianista consagrado, reconhecido pela sociedade à qual freqüentava. Neste sentido, sua trajetória foi muito similar ao pianista-compositor Henri Herz, seu professor em obras de sua própria autoria, em Paris, onde Napoleão realizou no ‘Salão Herz’ o seu debut oficial no exterior. Arthur Napoleão, em suas inúmeras turnês, pôde incorporar culturas diversas, assim formando sua identidade como pianista virtuose e compositor, a qual está refletida em suas obras como as análises demonstraram.
