SINGING AND ORAL POETRY: THE RESISTANCE OF POPULAR CULTURE

Abstract

This work presents a descriptive analysis of the main cantoria nordestina's styles, that as the troubadour, European Literary Period, has a poetic composition of verses organized in rhyme and metric. Stating that its main features are the improvisation repente and the challenge between popular singers, It shows the different ways of producing stanzas with rhyme's placement and metric – and even that far, melody, since that influences in the metric of several stanzas – different in each of them. The focus is to defend the regional popular literature, through oral poetry, so that it is not overlooked or ignored as it is appening. As the popular singer is an artist who knows this art through experience and practice, it should be valued, because it transmits a worldview in the popular way as people see it. This work results of research, interviews and existential knowledge that I develop as popular poet who has limited poetic production. As basis to this report, we use conceptions from Tersariol (1981), Sautchuk (2009), Tavares (2006), among others that discuss the string literature, associating it with the singing, since both are interconnected. Through knowledge of singing and folk poetry, we can obtain a more critical view, comparing it to the classic poetry because it motivates into the interest to content analysis, as their styles have a complex structure.
