ABSTRACT
This article aims to grasp the effect of migrations and travels in the musical and artistic education of Raimundo Pereira by reflecting on the 2004 (auto)biography "Muito prazer: sirva-se Raimundo Pereira Confidencial" [Pleased to meet you: Enjoy Raimundo Pereira Confidential], combined with interviews made with two professors, a poet, and a musician - people who the artist crossed paths with throughout his life. To that end, the study poses the following questions: How did Raimundo Pereira, as a black student, extend and consolidate his networks of sociability in migratory movements? How was his artistic education built up as he traveled? How do the (auto)biographical narratives of this gay singer manifest themselves as tactics of resistive existence and empowerment? Based on written and oral sources, it was possible to infer that although the baritone neither signs the book nor uses the resource of delegated writing, the act of narrating an (auto)biography, including his migrations and travels, emerges as a gesture of affirmation, resistance, and empowerment of the use of his voice beyond the act of singing.
