Festa e ritual na irmandade Folia de Reis São Francisco de Assis: tecitura e tessituras de pessoas, instrumentos e sonoridades nas ruas de Carmo do Cajuru/MG - a experiência do lazer como processos identitários

Abstract

The article describes the Folia de Reis São Francisco de Assis in the city of Carmo do Cajuru,MG, as a social practice full of histories and experiences. We focus on the festivity and ritual, integrating them into a ritual system organized by a heterogeneous community, whose participation expresses its materiality through songs, dances, prayers, rites and myths. We emphasize the ritual by highlighting the centrality and importance of musical instruments, guiding a dialogue between the fields of Leisure, Music and Anthropology. We associate leisure to ethical and aesthetic processes, to art and body, to rituals and festivity through sharing daily production of our social experiences.
