VACCARI, Pedro Razzante. “Mulatismo musical” e sua simbologia: uma revisão historiográfica do Padre José Maurício Nunes Garcia a partir da etnomusicologia. RILP [online]. 2020, vol.37, pp.47-72.  Epub 21-Mar-2021. ISSN 2182-4452.  https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2020.37/pp.47-72.

It deals with a historiographical revision regarding the Brazilian black composer Father José Maurício Nunes Garcia. The focus is set on how the Historiography, in association with Anthropology, which is the methodological tool of Ethnomusicology can improve the studies on him. The purpose here is to determine the anthropological and historical situations, facts and circumstances in the Master Father’s life that took him on an adventitious path to a historical symbolism to finally serve as a driver of the future Abolitionist Movement that took place late in the 19th Century. Taking both historical and social angles, we intend to delimit the environment in which the Father composer was raised, his possible social and cultural influences, and the broad context of the Colonial Brazil under Slavery. With this in mind, we were able to determine the significance of Father José Maurício Nunes Garcia’s figure in consolidating the so-called Brazilian musical mulatismo, and the manumission and rise of black men in the national History. Sérgio Buarque show us how European elements that were directly transposed to Brazil reveal similar characteristics in Father José Maurício’s work that were imported from Europe to the letter, with no consideration of national idiosyncrasies.
