Abstract

This paper discusses the relationship between dance and music from a technocultural experiment about performative aspects of Bumba Meu Boi of Maranhão. The research mixes research mediated by technology and theoretical discussions on Musicology, Anthropology, Performing Arts as well as testimonials of masters from traditional communities. The study aims to describe and reflect on how Afro-Brazilian cultural performances entangle the phenomena of multimodality, multi-coordination, and neighborhood as indispensable factors to conceive an integrated and complex embodied knowledge, indicating inseparability between body, dance, and music.
