Abstract

The present work problematizes aspects of the musical practice called Vominê, that integrates the Festa de São Tiago in Mazagão Velho, lacated in Amapá province. Supported by the theoretical perspectives of ethnomusicology, it is sought to reflect on the potentialities representative of this practice in relation to the individuals that take part of it. The Festivity of St. Tiago is a secular practice that happens annually, with Vominê, a kind of song of victory or exaltation of bravery, an integral part of this festivity. Investigating Vominê's practice, considering the way it operates in its musicais and social structures in its context is our main objective. In order to do so, we started with a review of the available literature and the direct observation of reality, considering the cultural analysis of the musical practice as proposed by Chada.
