| Resumo: | This paper approach aspect of Brazilian Carnival, from a new narrative, aiming to present a particular and complex form of linking samba and Afro-Brazilian religions. The text has Candomblé practices within Samba School Vai-Vai as an example, once it is known since 1930 as the most black affiliation in São Paulo city’s Carnival. The group’s routine alternates Carnival activities with religious rituals dedicated to the orishas Exu and Ogum, following African matrix traditions. This relation has assured a communitarian environment of sociability, identity and resistance, very much characteristic on the constitution of samba schools, though very little explored by the Black manifestation’s studies. The idea is to show how apparently disconnected realities assure the continuance of the ancestral traces and similarities in possible forms of relationship with the world, either in material or symbolic camp. |
