Resumo(s)
O bombolom é um instrumento de comunicação utilizado por vários grupos étnicos na GuinéBissau. O presente trabalho centra-se na linguagem percussiva do bombolom nas cerimónias
ritualísticas do toca-tchur. Nos rituais das religiões de matriz africana, os instrumentos
percussivos são componentes essenciais, estando presentes em todas as cerimónias. Nas
manifestações culturais e tradicionais, a percussão e a música mantêm-se presentes durante todo
o tempo. No início, no decorrer e no fim do ritual. Para os mancanhas, a utilização deste
instrumento varia consoante o contexto social, apresentando particularidades diversas.
No entanto, com base numa pesquisa de campo e bibliográfica, foi possível identificar um
objectivo comum a todos os instrumentos percussivos africanos: a sua função comunicativa. No
toca-tchur, o bombolom é usado como uma voz que comunica a longas distâncias, em
homenagem aos parentes falecidos de determinada idade. Esta função comunicativa visa dialogar
com os ancestrais, criando narrativas discursivas através da performance do corpo dançante,
cujos sentidos são atribuídos de acordo com o som, o espaço, o ritmo e a dança. Esta dissertação
foca-se na linguagem do bombolom nos rituais de toca-tchur da etnia mancanha, analisando a
linguagem deste instrumento, um tipo de tambor utilizado como canal de comunicação por meio
dos sons produzidos. Ou seja, procura compreender como se concretiza a linguagem percussiva
do bombolom no toca-tchur.
Para realizar esta investigação, são abordadas várias questões, tais como: a linguagem percussiva
do bombolom e a sua utilização em rituais cerimoniais; a função cultural do bombolom na
cosmovisão mancanha; as suas expressividades na transmissão do conhecimento tradicional e da
linguagem sonora; a estrutura e os padrões rítmicos nas cerimónias de toca-tchur da etnia
mancanha; a escolha dos percussionistas e a relação existente entre o sujeito e o objeto.
The bombolom is a communication instrument used by various ethnic groups in Guinea-Bissau. This study focuses on the percussive language of the bombolom in the ritual ceremonies of the toca-tchur. In rituals of African-rooted religions, percussive instruments are essential components, present throughout all ceremonies. In cultural and traditional manifestations, percussion and music are ever present from the beginning, through the course, and at the end of the ritual. For the Mancanha people, the use of this instrument changes according to the social context, with a range of specific characteristics. However, based on fieldwork and bibliographic research, a common purpose among all African percussive instruments was identified: their communicative function. In the toca-tchur, the bombolom is used as a voice that communicates across long distances, in homage to deceased relatives of a certain age. This communicative function aims to establish a dialogue with the ancestors, creating discursive narratives through the performance of the dancing body, whose meanings are shaped by sound, space, rhythm and dance. This dissertation focuses on the language of the bombolom in toca-tchur rituals of the Mancanha ethnic group, analyzing the language of this instrument a type of drum used as a way of communication through the sounds it produces. That is, it seeks to understand how the percussive language of the bombolom is expressed in the toca-tchur. To conduct this research, various questions are explored, such as: the percussive language of the bombolom and its use in ceremonial rituals; the cultural function of the bombolom in the Mancanha worldview; its expressiveness in the transmission of traditional knowledge and sonic language; the structure and rhythmic patterns in toca-tchur ceremonies of the Mancanha people; the selection of percussionists; and the relationship between the subject and the object.
