Resumo: Batuko, a musical-choreographic genre from Cape Verde, a country located on the west coast of Africa, created by enslaved black Africans after the country's independence in 1975, underwent a process of revaluation and has been seen by batukadeiras as a possibility for professionalization. In this article, I aim to reconstruct the multiple sociopolitical dynamics of batuko intertwined with two socio-historical and political moments in the official historiography of Cape Verde, having as material narratives and reported experiences of batukadeiras of the collective of São Martinho Grande, which stem from an ethnographic research carried out in 2008. The first moment focuses on the post-colonial period, after independence of Cape Verde in 1975. The second one, on the period following political opening, with democratization of the political party system as of 1991, which set the bases for revaluation and circulation of traditional musical arts. The narratives of my interlocutors reveal not only the effect of hegemonic narratives that conform the national identity in their experiences of batuko, but also the effects on the ways they see themselves as batukadeiras women and aspire to become professional artists.

Neste artigo, viso reconstruir as múltiplas dinâmicas sociopolíticas do batuko entrecruzadas com dois momentos socio-históricos e políticos da historiografia oficial de Cabo Verde, tendo como material as narrativas e trechos de vivências das batukadeiras do coletivo de São Martinho Grande, resultantes de pesquisa etnográfica realizada em 2008. O primeiro momento se centra no período pós-colonial, após a independência de Cabo Verde em 1975. E, o segundo, no período pós-abertura política com a democratização do sistema político-partidário a partir de 1991 e, com isso, a criação de bases para a revalorização e circulação das artes musicais tidas como tradicionais. Sinalizo que as narrativas das minhas interlocutoras permitem perceber não só o efeito das narrativas hegemônicas de conformação da identidade da nação nas suas vivências do batuko, mas também os efeitos nos modos como se inscrevem como mulheres batukadeiras e almejam o projeto profissional: vir a ser artistas profissionais.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2022-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/12060210.1590/15174522-120602SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 No. 59 (2022): Gender and race: southern transits in perspective; 54-82SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 Núm. 59 (2022): Género y raza: tránsitos del Sur en perspectiva; 54-82Sociologias; v. 24 n. 59 (2022): Gênero e Raça: Trânsitos do Sul em Perspectiva; 54-821807-03371517-4522reponame:Sociologias (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/120602/85027Copyright (c) 2022 Carla Indira Semedohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSemedo, Carla Indira2022-07-26T03:19:19Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/120602Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologiasPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologias/oai||revsoc@ufrgs.br1807-03371517-4522opendoar:2022-07-26T03:19:19Sociologias (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
