This dissertation describes and analyses the educational processes from the Trovadores do Vale Choir, an ensemble from the town of Araçuaí, in the Jequitinhonha Valley, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Trovadores do Vale Choir is a social activity participated in by women and men from the Araçuaí community. The choir has been active for the last forty-eight years, its repertoire consists of folk songs, such as work songs, religious hymns, among other songs and dances that were collected in daily social activities of the Jequitinhonha Valley. Originally, our research questions were stimulated from the practices and experiences from both the colonial and modern legacies, from the Jequitinhonha Valley cultural context. We understand that educational processes can be created in social praxis, and the production of academic knowledge should account for different epistemologies, new narratives, and comprehensive ways of listening and seeing that were historically neglected in this colonial context of knowledge. Therefore, this dissertation uses the work authors like Enrique Dussel, Paulo Freire, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, and Aníbal Quijano as theoretical framework; we believe that the democratization of these social narratives is fundamental to proposals linked to education and specifically to education and music, with the idea of education as every historical process of the human being acting and changing the world. Thus, the methodology of the study was constructed in dialogue with the subjects of the study, in a conception of science that emphasizes the scientific investigation to the social commitment. The data was collected mostly between the years of 2015 and 2016 and was configured by the use of field notes, interviews, and analysis of documents. Through the triangulation of the obtained data, thematic categories appeared that were configured as follows: 1) Songs and verses from the Trovadores do Vale community: category that pointed us to educational processes linked to the coexistence of the members of the choir as a community, and also educational processes based on the songs and verses that are part of the choral repertoire; 2) The creation of the choir: a category that made it possible to verify educational processes at the moment when the choir is born as an event, the result of a series of articulations. We understand that choir is born of educational processes linked to such articulations, however when it starts, it is produced the educational processes also for the same articulations; 3) History, resistance and fecundity: a category that pointed to educational processes linked to the history of the choir throughout its 48 years, to its resistance throughout this history and to its fecundity, that is, influence and legacy that contributed to the emergence of other practices such as choirs and artistic groups in the Jequitinhonha Valley. In this sense, we conclude that Trovadores do Vale Choir produced educational processes for Vale itself and abroad. Among the educational processes, we highlight: coexistence, solidarity, democratic participation, overcoming of problems daily life, maintenance of culture, awareness, the song Ser Mais, resistance and re-rooting.
