Samba rural de várzea da roça/Ba: samba de pé de parede

Abstract

This Reflective Memorial of Artistic Productions aims to observationally analyze the process and professional trajectory of the author, as well as explore their individual experience as a content producer. The text compares audiovisual productions about the culture of Rural Samba, particularly the Samba de Pé de Parede, featured in this article. This culture is a fundamental part of the author's life and of the sambadores (samba performers) from the city of Várzea da Roça/BA, located in the Jacuípe Basin Identity Territory. The work is based on studies by authors such as Andrade (1937), Conti (2015), Xavier (2023), Souza (2022), Penha (2020), Adonai (2020), Marcolin (2017), Luhning (2018), and Tavares (2009), and seeks to problematize and provoke reflection within higher education and the academic environment, aiming to expand knowledge about this ancestral culture. The rural music, passed down from generation to generation, is approached through scientific tools, emphasizing the importance of preserving oral traditions and the musical practices of these communities. The study includes a critical analysis of the sambas, their origins, and the regional context of cultural education, proposing reflections on the prejudices surrounding this cultural expression. The work also offers a broader view of samba, with a focus on the future education of this regional culture
