This dissertation aims to present the results of the master's research undertaken on the life trajectory of the baian artist Lazzo Matumbi in the afro-diasporic historical context, which includes, from his initial personal experiences, covering his daily and affective-family relationships as well to his professional public contributions in which the last 40 (forty) years have consecrated his career as a singer, songwriter and human rights activist. In this way, this exploratory qualitative research used the resources of memory, orality and consequently of the subject's narratives as a means of interlocution, allowing to contemplate the mapping of his journey, or rather, of his "ÀJÒ'rnada" and itineraries that the led here. This is because, his voice as a power of a place of speech and legitimation of his historical protagonism, made possible the ethnobiographical architecture sufficiently relevant for the analysis of his performances as a social subject of an ethnic-cultural field inserted in the reality of the Atlantic world, in which the diaspora The black woman has historically configured conflicts, exchanges and negotiations. Thus, this work also seeks to contribute in the perspective of reflecting on discursive and thematic constructions focused on identity, otherness, belonging, authenticity, representation, political action of black affirmation, racism, resistance and black culture.
