A presente dissertação centra-se nas relações entre música, pertença e património produzidas em torno da kaffrinha, um género de música e dança que os Burghers da Província Oriental consideram como seu património cultural. A partir de uma etnografia realizada entre as comunidades burgher de Trincomalee e Batticaloa (Província Oriental), procura situar a produção de práticas culturais, sobretudo de música e dança, nos seus principais lugares de performance e de pertença, nomeadamente em casamentos. Numa perspetiva histórica, examina algumas das implicações do colonialismo português no Sri Lanka na formação do grupo burgher e das suas expressões culturais crioulas – especialmente visível no domínio linguístico, musical, religioso e ritual – e discute o processo de caracterização do termo “burgher”, durante o período colonial holandês e britânico. Argumenta que a kaffrinha constituiu um dos principais recursos de sobrevivência da população burgher da Província Oriental, quer durante o período de governação colonial, quer após a Independência Nacional, desempenhando um papel central nas suas estratégias de reprodução cultural e social.
“The Kaffrinha of the Burghers of the Eastern Province: An Ethnography in Sri Lanka”, focuses on the relationship between music, belonging and heritage produced around kaffrinha, a genre of music and dance which the Burghers of the Eastern Province consider as their cultural heritage. Based on an ethnography carried out between the Burgher communities of Trincomalee and Batticaloa (Eastern Province), it seeks to locate the production of cultural practices, especially music and dance, in their main places of performance and belonging, namely in weddings. From a historical perspective, it examines some of the implications of Portuguese colonialism in Sri Lanka for the formation of the burgher group and its creole cultural expressions – especially visible in the linguistic, musical, religious and ritual domains – and discusses the process of characterization of the term “burgher”, during the Dutch and British colonial period. It argues that the kaffrinha articulated one of the main survival resources of the Burgher population of the Eastern Province, both during the colonial period and after National Independence, playing a central role in their strategies of cultural and social reproduction.
