RESUMO

The participative ethnomusicology – also called applied ethnomusicology, among other terms – has been concerning much interest on last decades, and is a spreading theme in scientific conferences and meetings. However, there are still few publications which delineate and discuss the field, what turns difficult its acceptation in scientific paradigm, which continues to characterize it as an extra-academic activity, empirically conducted by the interested researches. The main goal of this research was to delineate, based in references from ethnomusicology, anthropology and action-research methodologies fields, some theoretic concepts about participative ethnomusicology, focusing very different case studies: the Timbira Musical Archive, hosted in Carolina/Maranhão, Brazil, and supported by the NGO Centro de Trabalho Indigenista among the Timbira indigenous communities in Maranhão and Tocantins states; and the initiatives from the Laboratory for Ethnomusicology, Anthropology and Audiovisual, hosted in Cachoeira city, on an area of Bahia state called Recôncavo, which has many afro-descendants traditions. The research is based in bibliographic studies, fieldwork with participative observation posture and the collecting of interviews. The central point of this work consists on the reflection about the methodologies adopted by those projects of research and action in ethnomusicology, objectifying to add contributions to deepen the debate among participative ethnomusicology in Brazil, fortifying its importance and defining it as an alternative to the development of academic studies, especially concerning university outreach programs.
