Abstract

The present work presents and presents the analysis of the occurrence of an event that starts from an applied project denominated as 1st Encounter of Ogãs de Candomblé: musicians and mystics, in the space of the Federal University of Pampa, Campus Jaguarão-RS, at the beginning of the second semester 2017 Lecture, composing the Course Completion Text. The event was cut by religiosity in Afro-Brazilian culture. The objectives were to gather data and information for the area of Production and Cultural Policy through an event thematized by the figure of the ogan in the culture of Candomblé; Presenting the cultural nuances present in the figure of the Ogã de Candomblé; Providing a space to problematize the popular cultural practices, in particular, its musicality inside the house of Candomblé; Promoting the debate on Afro-Brazilian Culture, Religiosity and the relationship with the area of production and cultural politics. As a methodology, this work has aspects highlighted by Vogt (2006, p.24-25) regarding the expression scientific culture which is a cultural aspect that covers aspects such as its scientific production, its diffusion in the social dynamics between teaching and education and its dissemination in a given society, opening space for citizens to make their critical relationships between their cultural values, temporality and history. As a result, Pejigan Vagner Scanagatta explained about the African culture within the shed of Candomblé, the formation of the positions within the terreiro, where he brought the importance of the ogman position within these religious spaces, showing that the musicality of the ogan is the moment of connection of the man with the deities, brought us the need to open spaces where we can dialogue and show that within the Afro-Brazilian culture there are several nations where each house cultivates its specific cults, with their specificities. Father Jeam Chaves Da Silva explained to the debate the specific duties of an ogan within the terreiro, his obligations within the house of Candomblé, making it clear that the office of ogan exists only in Candomblé, not existing in other African cults. I noticed with all these settings that the purpose of the event was achieved, we had academics and people from the terreiro, the speakers were able to explain about the different cultures coming from Africa, with their different forms of worshiping the sacred, they brought things peculiar to Candomblé as the positions and the importance of each, none existing without the other.
