This dissertation, articulated around field ethnographies, gain new perspectives on black women and rhythms associated with samba and pagode. Taking the concept of the music scene as a space of sound belonging, on the outskirts of Salvador we find the wall and the pagode, seen by most people as just an expression of leisure when, in fact, they are the central locus of black protagonism. Understanding these environments of pagoda and wall as places of participation and protagonism for black women on the outskirts of Salvador, it is noted that various facets of their trajectories, such as religiosity, economic subsistence, family belonging and the inter-generational encounter, congregate there. they. Black women throughout history have been protagonists of their lives in a context of racism and sexism, in which even in the feminist field they still faced barriers. This research shows how, beyond feminist theory, black women have been weaving learning networks in different sectors of life, including events at these rhythms.
