Entre rimas e repentes: a formação musical de Oliveira de Panelas.

Abstract

The “Repente” is a manifestation of Brazilian art, based on improvised singing. It is a field of popular culture, characterized by the presence of rhymes and improvised verses, accompanied by the stippling of the viola. The process of musical learning in the context of popular cultures usually takes place based on collective practices. The research has as general objective to understand this musical learning process in Repente, also known as “cantoria”. Specifically, it aims to understand how this process occurred in the musical and life trajectory of the artist Oliveira de Panelas. The research starts from the concern to understand how, with whom and in what way popular artists learn music, often without having attended any classroom. The work is based on theoretical strategies of Education and Music Education, and as methodological procedures it uses ethnography composed of interviews, participatory research, in addition to the resources of netnography.
