Abstract

This research is focused on the musical repertoire Ahãdeakü also called Hãde Hãde by the Tukano East indigenous communities of the Upper Rio Negro, in particular the town of São Gabriel da Cachoeira in the extreme northwest of the Amazon. Its importance lies in the development and deepening of ethnomusicological works related to indigenous music of northern Brazil. The main objective of this work is to seek relationships between music and the social system in the Upper Rio Negro by associating the male and female social position to the musical repertoire. Through analysis of the repertoire Ahãdeakü, the intention is to offer a look at the expression of cultural and social values that are manifested in music. To do so, his reasoning is grounded in Ethnomusicology, making use also of the studies of cultural anthropology and amazon ethnology.
