Àjò'rnada de Lazzo Matumbi na trilha da diáspora negra: experiências, memórias e narrativas.

Abstract

This dissertation aims to present the results of the master's research undertaken on the life trajectory of the Bahian artist Lazzo Matumbi in the historical context of the black diaspora, which includes from his initial personal experiences of his daily and affective-family relationships, to his public-professional contributions in which the last 40 (forty) years have consecrated his career as a singer, songwriter and human rights activist. Thus, this exploratory qualitative research used, among other resources, memory, orality and consequently the subject's narratives as a means of interlocution, allowing to contemplate the mapping of his journey, or rather, of his "ÀJÒ'rnada" and itineraries that led him here, since his voice as a power of a place of speech and legitimizing his historical protagonism, made possible the biographical architecture sufficiently relevant for the analysis of his performances as a social subject of an ethnic-cultural field inserted in reality. of the Atlantic world and in which the black diaspora has historically configured conflicts, exchanges and negotiations. Thus, this work seeks to contribute, through a post-colonial perspective to reflections which concern themes related to identity, otherness, belonging, authenticity, representativeness, racism, resistance and political action of historical-cultural black affirmation.
