This investigation is temporally restricted to the last decade – between 2005-2015 –, and geographically restricted to the population situated on the Brazilian side, more specifically on the territory currently known as Raposa Serra do Sol. This study intended to detail the practices, significations and meanings attributed to different musical rhythms and repertoires of Makuxi in order to understand what kind of motivational factors were implicated in the the spread of forró rhythms and in the reworking of traditional musical rhythms, notably the parixara and the tukui, in a political context in which such musical repertoires were reinterpreted and used as "cultural performances". / Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo delinear e detalhar o conjunto de práticas e repertórios musicais difundidos entre os Makuxi, população de filiação linguística Karib, que habita os vales dos rios Branco e Rupununi, região politicamente partilhada entre o Brasil e a Guiana. Restrita às populações situadas na porção brasileira do território, e mais especificamente à Terra Indígena Raposa Serra do Sol; e temporalmente à última década (2005-2015) esta pesquisa almeja nuançar os usos, os significados e os sentidos atribuídos aos diferentes ritmos e repertórios musicais dos Makuxi, a fim de compreender quais foram os fatores motivadores da difusão dos ritmos de forró e da re-elaboração dos ritmos musicais tradicionais, notadamente o parixara, o tukui e o Aleluia, em um contexto político no qual tais repertórios musicais passaram a ser resignificados e instrumentalizados em “performances culturais”.
