Item Autobalkanism as a Source of Cultural Empowerment(2022-04) Enriquez, Erica ArleneItem Heart And Soul: How Salvador De Bahia Influences The Musical And Cultural Identity Of Brazil(2019-05-01) Howard, Ryanne; Hartigan, JohnMy thesis explores how Brazilian musical and cultural identity has been influenced by its incorporation of Afro-Brazilian genres, yet how it rejects the recognition of these citizens in other aspects by disparaging or downplaying the impact of this on the society. Salvador de Bahia is often romanticized in the Brazilian imagination which has real effects on the people from there. When the wider society takes advantage of this narrative, it becomes easier for the contributions of Afro-Brazilians in Bahia to be overlooked or simplified simply because of their racial and cultural identity. I will be focusing on how artists in music from Salvador have impacted Brazilian musical identity as well as how Afro-Brazilian racial identity is being negotiated. The artists that I’ve chosen have contributed to Salvador’s cultural identity somehow. I am using this thesis to further explore Brazilian cultural identity as well as better my own understanding of the country.
