SupervisorAbstractThis project was elaborated a result of my concerns arising from experiences in Brazilian territory, within the scope of the Master's in Preservation of Cultural Heritage where I developed a research focused on intangible heritage with musical groups formed by box, zabumba and two fifes. For the completion of the PhD in Ethnomusicology, I wanted to maintain this bond and sensitivity to the so-called immaterial culture, to its musicians and practices linked to the communities where they belong. This framework led me to the so-called Zés Pereiras, bagpipes, snare drums and bass drum groups whose circuit of performance and musical work seemed to me similar to those of the cabaçais bands. I am interested in knowing the local dynamics that these musicians establish with their local communities, the impact of festivals and associative movement on learning processes, on the repertoire and even on the performative activity of Zés Pereiras, thus enhancing a knowledge that I started to consolidate within the scope of my Master's, which is the understanding between the sustainability of musical processes and the relationship between groups and their communities in the social, cultural, economic, educational or technological system.Research Group: Ethnomusicology and Popular Music Studies
