Jongo is a traditional manifestation of Southeastern Brazil that emerged in the slave quarters in the colonial period, and it persists in the present days as a form of resistance and maintaining of the history and memory of black slaves. It is Known as the "father of samba", and has the point, the dance and the drums as main elements. Its songs refer to the past and claim the social ascension of the black. This practice came to the city of Campinas/SP through Mr Benedito Ribeiro and was subsequently rescued by his descendants, which gave origin to Jongo Dito Ribeiro Community. Nowadays, this community plays important actions regarding the culture of African matrix, with black women as protagonists. In this sense, the present research intended to clarify the contribution of this community to the construction of the identities of black women in the city of Campinas/SP. Therefore, the history of the city of Campinas was identified, and the Casa de Cultura Fazenda Roseira and Jongo Dito Ribeiro were characterized. It was discussed the influences suffered by black women from Campinas for the construction of their identities, taking the activities developed by jongo’s black women into consideration. A case study was carried out and data obtained in a field research, whose data collection techniques were participant observation and semi-structured interview. Ten black women from Jongo Dito Ribeiro Community participated in the research, as well as ten black women active in the black feminist movement who eventually attend the Casa da Cultura Fazenda Roseira. The study demonstrated the relevance of jongo’s black women, who revere their ancestry through their actions inside and outside Fazenda Roseira, constituting themselves in a family based on the African matrix culture. In this way, the benefits of being part of a jongo’s collective meet back women from Campinas, who start to accept their body and exalt their ancestral memory, transforming themselves and their surroundings
