The problematic of the research consisted on analysing what the amos, cantadores and toadas represent in the whole context of boi-bumb? plays in Bel?m, nowadays. Considering this perspective, I tried to identify on Boi Caprichoso the most meaningful expressions which were related to toadas and how the roles of amo and cantador were performed. Participative observation, ethnical research, open and semistructured interviews were used as research methods. The role performances on Boi Caprichoso plays an essential part on the playing realization, highlighting themselves as pivotal characters. These performances, characterized by the vocal presence, also highlighted the size that toadas occupy in the whole play, and pointed the way for an emerging model of presentation, in which both toada and cantador appear as central figures / Esta disserta??o tem como objetivo investigar os cantadores e as toadas na brincadeira do boi-bumb?, trazendo para o debate quest?es que se agregam em torno da constru??o e da performatiza??o dos papeis de amo e de cantador no Boi-Bumb?
