O Hip Hop como forma de representação da vida e da luta nas aldeias em Dourados

Abstract

This study analyzes how hip hop can be an alternative voice for the indigenous peoples from the indigenous village in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, through the work of the rap group Brô MC'S. The history of indigenous peoples in Mato Grosso do Sul, as well as throughout Brazil, is marked by struggles and massacres. Starting from the colonial historical process, a historical line was made approaching the Guarani-Kaiowá struggle in Mato Grosso do Sul in order to evidence how the problem of confinement has developed, a process that has generated and still generates serious consequences within the state‟s indigenous territories. In its second part, this stud analyzes a style of music that seeks to give voice to the forgotten in the midst of society, hip-hop music, which succeeded in becoming a political-cultural resistance movement capable of breaking the barriers of entertainment. Finally, connecting the topics analyzed in the first two chapters, it is shown how the rap group formed by Guarani-Kaiowá artists from the Dourados indigenous territory can, through their conception of hip-hop, create an original style of music with the aim of telling their reality in their village to the largest number of people they can through music.
