Resumo: Mass Japanese immigration to Brazil, which began in the 20th century, brought with it a rich arsenal of customs and cultural manifestations, many of them passed on to Brazilian descendants. Thus, numerous ethnic artistic groups were able to flourish in the country, including taiko ensembles, percussive groups of traditional drums that became popular among Japanese-Brazilian communities. To meet this demand, drums began to be built in Brazil, seeking to adapt Japanese techniques to the new reality. This article addresses, based on on-site observation and interviews, the process of building Brazilian taiko in the Kaito family workshop, in Taubaté, a city of the countryside of the state of São Paulo. By describing the stages of construction of two different drums, we were able to understand how the taiko maker adapted the Japanese tradition to the Brazilian reality, using local raw materials, as well as national processes and machinery, and giving these taiko drums their own Brazilian characteristics and identity.

Como resultado, en el país pudieron florecer innumerables grupos artísticos de carácter étnico, entre ellos los conjuntos de taiko, grupos de tambores tradicionales de percusión que enamoraron a las comunidades nipo-brasileñas. Para satisfacer esta demanda, se empezaron a construir tambores en Brasil en un intento de adaptar las técnicas japonesas a la nueva realidad. Basándose en la observación in situ y en entrevistas, este artículo examina el proceso de construcción del taiko brasileño en el taller de la familia Kaito, en Taubaté, en el interior del estado de São Paulo. Al describir las etapas de construcción de dos tambores diferentes, fue posible comprender cómo el luthier viabilizaba el taiko y lo adaptaba a las materias primas brasileñas, creando instrumentos con procesos y maquinarias nacionales, dando a estos taiko brasileños características e identidad propias.A imigração japonesa em massa ao Brasil, iniciada no séc. XX, trouxe consigo um rico arsenal de costumes e manifestações culturais, muitos deles passados aos descendentes brasileiros. Assim, inúmeros grupos artísticos de caráter étnico puderam florescer no país, entre eles os conjuntos de taiko, grupos percussivos de tambores tradicionais que caíram no gosto das comunidades nipo-brasileiras. Para suprir tal demanda, os tambores passaram a ser construídos no Brasil, buscando adaptar técnicas japonesas à nova realidade. Esse artigo aborda, a partir da observação in loco e entrevistas, o processo de construção dos taiko brasileiros na oficina da família Kaito, em Taubaté, no interior do estado de São Paulo. Descrevendo as etapas da construção de dois diferentes tambores, foi possível entender como o luthier viabilizou e adaptou os taiko às matérias-primas brasileiras, criando instrumentos a partir de processos e maquinários nacionais, dando a esses taiko brasileiros características e identidade próprias.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)2023-12-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontexttextinfo:eu-repo/semantics/othertext/htmltext/xmlapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/permusi/article/view/4763810.35699/2317-6377.2023.47638Per Musi; Vol. 24 (2023): General Topics; 1-25Per Musi; Vol. 24 (2023): General Topics; 1-25Per Musi; v. 24 (2023): General Topics; 1-252317-63771517-7599reponame:Per Musiinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/permusi/article/view/47638/39673https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/permusi/article/view/47638/39674https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/permusi/article/view/47638/39675Copyright (c) 2023 Per Musihttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRodrigues, FlávioReily, Suzel Ana2024-02-06T17:17:37Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/47638Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/revistas/pm/iaboutj.htmPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phpantoniom@fgvnf.br||permusi@ufmg.br2317-63771517-7599opendoar:2024-02-06T17:17:37Per Musi - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
