SUMMARY:

The state of Rio Grande do Norte is home to a wide diversity of cultural
manifestations rooted in percussive rhythms, such as Coco de Roda, Maracatu,
Zambê, Bambelô, among others. Over time, these popular cultural expressions have
gradually lost the central role they once held in the state's cultural scene. In recent
years, however, a new percussive scene has emerged in the city of Natal, composed
of groups, collectives, and gatherings of enthusiasts who occupy public spaces,
organizing themselves around what they call batuque. This research aims to identify
and map this scene, understanding batuque as a central sonic element that
structures musical performances of Afro-Indigenous heritage in Rio Grande do
Norte. By outlining this landscape, the study seeks to highlight the networks and
sociabilities formed among batuqueiros and other cultural agents, examining,
through the lens of ontopolitics, how these sonic expressions challenge colonial
normativities regarding the body, time, and territory, thus opening paths to
understand them as forms of existence and political enunciation.
