ABSTRACT:
This article aims to discuss the possibility of orienting more emancipating educational practices by the narrative of the carioca funk assembly. As a black diaspora musical practice, strongly present in the routine of the municipal elementary school in the city of Rio de Janeiro where I work (and many other local schools, certainly), the narrative of the carioca funk opens up quite fertile possibilities for the displacement of neocolonial relations that weave school education, specifically in addressing the very issue of race. This is mainly due to the fact that it does not position this question in terms of biological (phenotype), geographic (favela) or institutionalized cultural limits (Funk), but within the framework of the so-called everyday (musical) practices.
