The tradition in two scopes: cultural heritage and sambas de roda

Abstract

The Samba de Roda went through a heritage process in 2004 and 2005 and was consecutively considered a Intangible National Heritage by IPHAN and Oral Humanity Heritage by UNESCO. Due to the increasing number of public policies in the cultural field, it is possible to observate the intersection of tradition that must be recognized and assisted by the state (bureaucratic representative of modernity). In the mean time, there is a music appreciation process (the Samba de Roda) to the detriment of the actors involved. This work, from the ethnographic study of Samba de Roda in the town of Conceição do Jacuípe - BA discusses both socialization dynamic promoted by samba as the history of the city, trying to understand the process of social construction of music; also presenting the relations between the discourses and practices of the surveyed group’ tradition with the political dimension of the heritage process
