This thesis is the result of research and investigation work with Daughters and Sons of the Rosary of Terno de Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Vila Padre Pinto Caxambu, where their Afro sound memories about the history of this suit were recorded. For this, a route was traced between Africa-Brazil-Minas Gerais-Quilombo de Caxambu in order to understand the transatlantic movements that influenced the origin of the tradition of the reigns, permeating the arrival of the Bantu peoples in Brazil and the influence of their cosmoperceptions in the national culture. In the dialogue with the main authors and authors about the reigns, its structure was tested, the importance of praising Nossa Senhora do Rosário and the coronation of Black Queens and Kings as the basis of this tradition that resists as a secular culture in this quilombo. For this, the narrative of black women gains prominence since it is from them that it is possible to describe the performative rites of the festivities in Caxambu from the song and dance of the quilombolas. There is a dialogue about sociabilities, memory, sonorities, and black identities present in these festivities that go back to a fundamental myth that extends from generation to generation for a little over two centuries and that permeates the researcher's family history.
