The aim of the present article is to investigate the music from Santo Daime- religion especially among members and leaders from both churches that belong to "Padrinho Sebastião Mota de Melo's spiritual line" in the city of Rio de Janeiro. More specifically, I analyze the native interpretation on genesis of the religious hymns in its relation with the thoughts, feelings and subjectivity, reflected in the notion of sacred and the hierarchic differentiations of the group. The theoretical support for the analysis is anchored in the fields of ethnomusicology and anthropology of emotions.
