Terreiro de umbanda Mártir de São Sebastião: registros de patrimônio imaterial

Abstract

This work thesis is the result of an ethnographic research developed in a Terreiro (religious building) of Umbanda in Aparecida de Goiânia. This Terreiro, in specific, was chosen by its particular way to prepare rituals that came up caused by the presence of an important character in the history of Goiás and its relationship with the priest of these rituals. It describes the procedures in the Terreiro, registering them and endorse the process of adaptation occurred with the integration of new elements, connecting them to the history of African religion in Brazil and the establishment of invented traditions. In addition to this work thesis, the field research led to three findings: a documentary on DVD, in which there are images of the festival of saints and entities, interspersed with interviews describing the history of the Terreiro; an audio CD, with chants dedicated to the two main entities of the Terreiro (pretos velhos old-slaves spirits and caboclos); and a photographic collection. In addition to these registers, there is also a rereading/adaptation, by our authorship, of a caboclo chant to piano and voice (also recorded in the Terreiro).
