Maracatu Yá Dandara: um baque feminino em Maceió, Alagoas

Abstract

This research highlights the particularities of Maracatu Yá Dandara as a women's movement in Maceió. In a current scenario of a new way of doing maracatu in Alagoas, there are three moments: The erasure of cultural expression that The emergence of new percussive maracatu groups in Maceió from 2007 onwards. Maceió from 2007 onwards through a workshop given by Wilson Santos; and Maracatu Yá Dandara as a representation of this new movement and beyond, a women's movement. This work is partly an autoethnography based on my actual participation as a member of Yá Dandara. I also see the interrelationships between the trajectories of mestres Dani Lins and Wilson Santos with the construction of a Feminine Maracatu. In addition to what Female Maracatu is in terms of its similarities and differences, understanding that these specificities are built on the concept of "race-meaning-moment". "and that the groups are heterogeneous, even within the same group. The production of images is seen as the main scientific data in this research anthropological analysis is carried out on the basis of third-party and authorial productions. The main result was to understand that Maracatu Yá Dandara is not only a cultural expression of the new wave of maracatu in Alagoas, but also a female space of struggle, affection, leisure and welcome.
