Grupo “Tambores da serra”: Cultura e educação em Bananeiras/PB (2018-2025)

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the trajectory of the cultural group Tambores da Serra and the educational milestones of its work in the cultural formation of students at Escola dos Sonhos, in Bananeiras, Paraíba, Brazil. This is a qualitative research of a historical and documentary nature, developed through a case study focusing on the Tambores da Serra group and its educational perspective. Data production was based on the analysis of documents, photographs, institutional records, and other historical sources that made it possible to reconstruct the group's trajectory, from its creation in 2018 until 2025, when its name was changed. The study is grounded in the theoretical assumptions of Paulo Freire, Carlos Rodrigues Brandão, and Leila Sarmento Coelho, among other authors who discuss culture and education. The results indicate that Tambores da Serra has established itself as an important cultural and educational practice, promoting the strengthening of local culture and identity within the school environment. In addition to fostering musical learning, the group has contributed to the appreciation of cultural heritage, the development of citizenship, and the implementation of educational practices aligned with ethnic-racial education.
