Workshop: "Music in the indigenous universe"
Researching and practicing
Magda Pucci (São Paulo – Brasil)
Through practice, the objective of this workshop is stimulating reflection on the great cultural diversity of Brazil and to demystify the idea that indigenous songs are all the same. Activities such as singing in different indigenous languages, getting in touch with mythological contents, listening to the sound of certain instruments, perceiving the way the music is inserted in every day’s life are part of the activities to be developed in this workshop.
Magda Pucci began her research about indigenous music since 2005, when she did her master in Anthropology after being invited by anthropologist Betty Mindlin to work through the sound archives of Paiter Surui from Rondônia. With her group Mawaca, she developed a project called ‘Rupestres Sonoros’ connecting indigenous songs with the rupestrian art from two important archeological Brazilian sites. She went to Amazonia with Mawaca´s group to perform with different indigenous musicians in 2010. She is being developing projects with indigenous groups as Paiter Surui, Ikolen-Gavião, Comunidade Bayaroá and Huni Kuin. She released the book for children about indigenous sons called ‘A Floresta Canta: A sound expedition for indigenous lands in Brazil’ in 2015 and she is preparing to publish the book for teacher ‘Cantos da Floresta’. Magda also is coordinator of Estúdio Mawaca, space based in São Paulo that sings in more than 20 languages and has been performing in different countries.
