A tradição de mulheres negras sambistas e o samba afroreligioso de Aparecida (1939-1985)

Resumo

The presence of Black women is essential to the development of samba, especially as they transform it into a space of sociability. Likewise, the connection between samba and Africanderived religiosity is also vital, as samba serves as a platform for disseminating Afro-religious aesthetics and Black identity. From this perspective, this research aims to map and analyze the various roles played by Black women samba artists throughout the history of Brazilian popular music, within a movement I define as the Tradition of Black Women Samba Artists. Considering Clementina de Jesus as the pioneer of this tradition and Aparecida as her successor, this work also reflects on the legacy of these women for national music, with particular attention to RAP from 2010 onward and the affirmation of what I characterize as Afro-religious music. Finally, the research reconstructs the trajectory of the samba artist Aparecida, highlighting her significant phonographic production and media coverage during the 1970s, a period marked by intense repression of debates on Black identity and the military regime’s denial of racism in Brazilian society.
