Migração, música e lugar: Identidade territorial representada pela cultura musical do migrante interestadual

Abstract

To study internal migration or interstate migration in Manaus is to describe the reality lived by many human beings. The city of Manaus, presents itself as a place full of factors of attraction for the existence of interstate migration, the presence of the Industrial Pole of Manaus, creates the perspective of a city full of work opportunities for people, with this city image ideal to live, the subject moves from his native place, transforming himself into an interstate migrant in Manaus. But with the arrival of this new inhabitant will only the demographic and economic aspects have impacts? And will not the cultural aspects of this social movement of migration change? This study was based on the principle that when migrating the subject brings with it his culture, which will be reproduced in his new place of residence, and externalize his identity, through the musical manifestation, when the migrant identifies himself as an individual who came from another place , (re) meaning your current place of residence. When listening to the music that speaks of his native place, the migrant expresses himself as a person who is still connected with the musical culture of his State, because the songs reveal places, natural beauties, folk manifestations, portray the lived place of the subject. Valuing the experiences, and life narratives, we developed the qualitative research from the phenomenological principle, within the perspective of Humanist Cultural Geography. To this end, we sought to identify the territoriality of the interstate migrant, at first expressed through two Cultural Festivals in Manaus, Festival Paraense and Festival Nordestino, dialoguing with two collaborators, and in the second moment developing semistructured interviews with ten migrant merchants that express their territorial identity, based on the name of its Commercial Establishments, located in the district Tancredo Neves, East Zone of Manaus / AM. In this way, we can perceive the presence of the migrant through the identity that he develops in a new place, called Manaus.
