"Beating the Leather of the First Conga": Afro-Brazilian Epsiphanies in Literature and Music

Abstract

Partindo do incomodo causado pelas projecoes exoticas do "Brasil" no imaginario internacional, discutem-se aqui alguns momentos em que, na literatura e na musica, de tempos coloniais ao presente, a "Africa" revela-se como topos privilegiado, a resguardar poeticamente a pureza e a crueza de uma origem a um so tempo desejada e rechacada. Analisando, ao fim, um trecho das memorias de Caetano Veloso, sugiro que um complexo mecanismo de sublimacao simultaneamente nos protege e aproxima do momento mitico original em que a mao dos africanos teria tocado o primeiro tambor no Brasil, fazendo surgir, intacta, uma Africa mirifica, simbolicamente tao poderosa quanto esvaziada de qualquer historia ou peso.
