A dança do Lindô: registro e memória no povoado Folha Grossa, Tocantinópolis - TO

Abstract

The work has as its theme the process of recording and memory of the lindô dance in Folha Grossa. The community is located on TO-126, the road that connects Tocantinópolis to Maurilândia, and its general objective is to understand Lindô, before the Covid-19 pandemic and during the pandemic, what was different and how dance has been happening, how much to the learning process of the cultural manifestation of the lindô dance. The specific objectives are to verify how lindô has been developing; knowing the name of the song that is sung during the performance of the dance; understand why the cultural manifestation of lindô dance in the village of Folha Grossa was not happening before the pandemic; verify in the lindô dance, if those people surveyed by Araújo (2016) still perform the manifestation in the same way, or if there are differences, if so, which ones. As a research problem, the following question runs through: How to keep the cultural manifestation of lindô alive? In the hypothesis, I believe that few people of the new generation know Lindô, as they have never seen the group perform. As the main methodology of the research, two people were interviewed and there was analysis of video and photos, passed by residents of the community itself and academics of the Rural Education course. Some authors were used as references, namely, Quilombola (2017), Filho et al, (2011), Rodrigues (2017) and Santos (2007). The research carried out was fundamental for the elaboration of the work and to better understand the Dança do Lindô.
