The video in the research of two Amefrican dances: the samba and the rumba.

  • Claudia Lora Krstulovic

Through the case study of two families: that of Jelita, originally from Saubara, Bahia, Brazil, and the family headed by Lidia, in Trinidad, Cuba, two audiovisual works are presented that focus on the role of women in the matrilineal transmission of samba and rumba, generational changes and the male-female relationship present in body movements. As a complement, a text is included in which the methodology used, the cultural-historical context of each case and an analysis of the role of women in the processes of perpetuation of these female body memories and their places of transmission are presented.
