The Mussuca, a remaining quilombo community, located in the state of Sergipe (Brazil), is known as the "the blacker than black place" or the place of "legit africans", as shown by the researche of Lima (2006). In this place, we find a african originated traditional cultural practice , the Samba de Pareia, in which the women whose ages range between 44 and 72 years old, on the fifteenth day past a child's birth in the community, or during the festivities of the June cicle, "play" while wearing wooden shoes, to the sound of percussion instruments that are responsible for cradling songs that (also) tell the quilombo's history and explain the practice in itself. Focusing on this, it is the objective of the present text not only to present the Mussuca and its Samba de Pareia, but also the intension of bringing forth considerations about the resulting possibilities of space/time for the decoloniality of thought. |
