Abstract

This research work has as main objective to propose adaptations to execution on the drums of the touch called Alujá to Xangô, executed by the Xambá Nation, in the city of OlindaPE. The methodology is divided into three concomitant points, namely: 1) bibliographical analysis on candomblé and the respective Afro-Brazilian rhythms, specifically on the Alujá rhythm offered to Xangô; 2) analysis of this rhythm focused on the nuances during the execution on the Nation refered and on the similarities and differences found in different regions and candomblé temples in Brazil; 3) adaptations of the patterns performed by the percussion instruments in the drumset emphasizing the peculiarities extracted from the analyzes. The methodology used was based on the analysis of videos recorded of the performances of this rhythm, carried out during the semistructured interviews with interpreters and researchers linked to Xambá Nation, object of analysis of this work. As an analysis tool, these touches were transcribed and posteriorlly analyzed under the support of the Sonic Visualiser softwere. The crossing of these data permited to use such elements as tools for the executing this Afroreligious touch, making it possible to establish relations (direct and indirect) about the nuances and particularities found in the process of its execution. From there, proposed adaptations of the rhythmic patterns applying on the drumset, emphasizing the elements that were collected.
