Suite 1929/Bom Jardim

Entre toadas e baianos ouvidos por Mário de Andrade – GRAVAÇÃO DE ÁLBUM MUSICAL E MONTAGEM DE ESPETÁCULO MUSICAL. O Grupo ANIMA inicia a montagem de seu novo projeto: a gravação em CD de 24 músicas inéditas pertencentes ao manuscrito RGN – Boi de Fontes, anotadas por Mário de Andrade em 1929, no Rio Grande do Norte, no Engenho de Bom Jardim. Estas quase 80 melodias do Bumba-meu-Boi foram publicadas no tomo III do livro, editado por Oneyda Alvarenga, Danças Dramáticas do Brasil e atualmente seus originais de colheita estão guardados no IEB/USP (Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros) que contém também outros documentos relacionados, como o pouco conhecido manuscrito Gallet. Este documento é o material musical que Andrade endereçou ao compositor e folclorista Luciano Gallet (1893-1931) com a encomenda de uma suíte instrumental projeto que não se concretizou devido à morte prematura do amigo e compositor.

Fragmentos de “O turista aprendiz”, de Mário de Andrade (p. 432-434)

Mar Anterior transits sonorously between the poetry of orixás songs in the Yoruba language and the medieval Iberian poetry sung. Its key point is the longing from the African diaspora, the trauma of slavery and oblivion. Along with the first vessels built with the pine trees of Leiria (Portugal), planted by Portuguese kings, who initiate the Iberian maritime epics, the unprecedented repertoire also starts from the 7 love songs written by the troubadour king Dom Dinis (1261-1325), considered the inaugural landmark of the Portuguese songs of nostalgia and found in fragments in 1990 at Torre do Tombo (Lisbon) and unpublished for the current ears.
