GUNGA


Written and researched by Professor Totti Angola (Aristóteles Kandimba) of The Capoeira Angola Center of the Netherlands.



(Este texto é apenas um trecho da pesquisa)

(This text is merely a small piece of the research)


O projeto literário “Entre Gungas e Kalungas” é uma pesquisa e tese sobre a ancestralidade, o simbolismo e a espiritualidade de vastos arcos musicais africanos, tais como o Mungongo da África Central, conhecido como a corda umbilical, de Nzambi (Deus) para o mundo, o Hungu e o M’bulumbumba de Angola, instrumentos de divertimento, diminuição de tensão e meditação, os Ugubhu e Uhadi, símbolos do braço forte do feminismo, dos ritos de passagem e dos ensinamentos históricos das mulheres da África do Sul, e o Berimbau. Instrumento de origem africana no Brasil, proeminente nas rodas de capoeira.


The literature project “Entre Gungas e Kalungas” is a research and thesis about ancestry, the symbolism and spirituality of various African musical bows, like the Mungongo of Central Africa, known as the umbilical cord of Zambi (God) connected to the world, the Hungu and the M’bulumbumba of Angola, instruments of entertainment, decrease of tension and meditation , the Ugubhu and Uhadi, symbols of the strong arm of femininity, the rites of passage and the historical teachings of the women of Southern Africa, and the Berimbau, the instrument of African origin in Brazil, prominent in the rodas of capoeira.


Com esta pesquisa, as minhas intenções são de dar a conhecer as origens dos instrumentos, como também a sua história intensiva. A tese, com fontes e referencias específicas, é uma das contribuições mais valiosas que disponho em prol de mais saberes e valorização da arte Capoeira. Arte essa que pratico, orgulhosamente, a dezoito anos.


With this research, my intentions are to let people get acquainted with the origins of the instruments as well as its intensive history. The thesis with specific references and sources is one of the most valuable contributions I offer for the enhancement of knowledge and valorization of the art Capoeira, the art that I practice with pride, for over eighteen years.
