Resilience and pollination of black music that has been occupying urban spaces in Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

Resilience and pollination of black music that has been occupying urban spaces in Rio de Janeiro - Taking as a reference field observations and journalistic articles published in the media scene, as well as the specialized bibliography; this article seeks to build a cartography of the controversies and carry out a brief assessment of the processes of glamorization and restraint (and even criminalization) that have been associated with the manifestations of black music - such as samba, funk, jongo and hip hop -, which have traditionally occupied public spaces in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the form of small events. It is based on the assumption that it has been especially in the circles of this metropolis (which gravitate towards these musical genres mentioned above), that the actors from different social segments have historically managed to promote a set of cultural practices that generate not only resilience, but also pollination, which have allowed the construction of territorialities that have given new meaning to the imaginary and, in general, the daily life of this city.
