Resumo:
This thesis is the result of research and investigation work with Daughters and Sons of the
Rosary of Terno de Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Vila Padre Pinto Caxambu, where their Afro
sound memories about the history of this suit were recorded. For this, a route was traced
between Africa-Brazil-Minas Gerais-Quilombo de Caxambu in order to understand the
transatlantic movements that influenced the origin of the tradition of the reigns, permeating the
arrival of the Bantu peoples in Brazil and the influence of their cosmoperceptions in the national
culture. In the dialogue with the main authors and authors about the reigns, its structure was
tested, the importance of praising Nossa Senhora do Rosário and the coronation of Black
Queens and Kings as the basis of this tradition that resists as a secular culture in this quilombo.
For this, the narrative of black women gains prominence since it is from them that it is possible
to describe the performative rites of the festivities in Caxambu from the song and dance of the
quilombolas. There is a dialogue about sociabilities, memory, sonorities, and black identities
present in these festivities that go back to a fundamental myth that extends from generation to
generation for a little over two centuries and that permeates the researcher's family history.
