Abstract
This is a research supported by the theoretical framework of Ethnomusicology, Anthropology and Sound Studies and which takes as universe of observation, participation and analysis the context of bombos, a social practice repeatedly cultivated in different localities of Portugal. The study focuses mainly on ethnographic fieldwork carried out with two groups: (i) Grupo de Bombos Regional de São Simão Os Completos; (ii) Grupo de Bombos da Casa do Povo do Paul.In both localities, bombos have been marking events and memories for about 80 years, justifying the maintenance of artisanal builders, the intergenerational transmission of knowledge associated with this practice and the regular gathering of groups for rehearsals and performances.
Considering (i) the significant presence of bombos in Portugal and the scarcity of systematic studies; (ii) the set of derogatory judgments around percussion and, in particular, the bombos and their practice; (iii) the possibility of the delineation of new narratives brought by the transdisciplinary area of Sound Studies regarding, for example, the poetics and politics of social relations, the intersubjectivity and the expressive human behaviors, challenges are posed in the studies of musical practices and musical instruments in Portugal. In this sense, paying attention to the contexts mentioned above, this project aims to contribute to the reflection, discussion and development of approaches focused on the study of sound within the scope of Portuguese popular musical practices and instruments. This research has the following specific objectives: i) understand the values, meanings and processes of participation in the practice of bombos in the contexts under observation; (ii) identify the relations established between means of production and performative results; (iii) understand the articulation between music, sound and space in the performance of bombos.
