Keywords:
afro-brazilian religions, afro-religious memory, narrativesAbstract
This research addresses the relationship between memory, religiosity, and ancestry in Afro-Brazilian traditions, focusing on Preto Velho chants available in digital media. The study aims to analyze the narratives of these entities and understand how their memories are preserved and transmitted within Afro-Brazilian religions. The corpus consists of 29 chants recorded on vinyl albums and later made available on YouTube. A narratological approach adapted to the analysis of the chants was employed. The results reveal narratives related to ancestry, Afro-Brazilian religiosity, and the memory of slavery, demonstrating the role of the chants in preserving Afro-religious collective memory.
