Abstract

The respective work is premised on demonstrating how the songs present on the rap album “Nada como um dia, após o outro dia”, by Racionais MC’S from 2002 can be understood as oral-traditions. It is worth mentioning that these oral traditions are important, as they allow us to understand different elements of the history of the Afro-Brazilian population, in the post-abolition period. For the elaboration of this research, I will think and work with music as a historical source, more specifically, I seek to understand how the words sung on the rap record by the Racionais Mc's group can be understood as important elements of a history of black people in the post-war period. abolition, providing new analyzes on resistance and survival strategies created by the Afro-Brazilian population, through the cultural field, analyzing the “black family” and the “structural precariousness of freedom”, these two historical categories that repeat throughout the rap album.
