Guerreiro São Pedro Alagoano : lutas e resistência na preservação da cultura folclórica (1990-2020)

Abstract

O Guerreiro is a popular play of profane-religious character by singers, dancers and mystics who announced the arrival of the Messiah and paid tribute to the three wise men by praising the owners of the houses, where it is known that this revelry was also the result of a great process of miscegenation consequently of the Portuguese European colonization on the Northeast coast, where Indians and blacks mix with the colonizer, providing the emergence of several popular manifestations of Reisado character, which include the Bumba-meu-boi, Pastoril and the Guerreiro himself. The Guerreiro revelry remains very much alive in contemporary Alagoas society, where the masters and mistresses and other players of such revelry at all costs maintain the tradition as a popular revelry in spaces of a culture of resistance.
