A inserção de mulheres em bandas de música: um estudo com integrantes das bandas de Miraíma e Sobral

Abstract

This present work addresses the presence of women in the Music Bands of Miraíma and Sobral, aiming to investigate the insertion, entry, and permanence of women in these bands. To achieve this objective, four semi-structured interviews were conducted, including a pilot test interview with a participant who fits the research profile, and three additional interviews with members of the aforementioned bands. A qualitative approach was used to study the social phenomena related to the genre within these musical bands. The results revealed cases of male superiority within the suits or the band as a whole, which probably influences the power dynamics within these musical groups. These aspects can pose challenges and impact women's confidence and full participation in music. These analyses serve to better understand the inclusion of women in bands and contribute to the implementation of practices that address gender disparity, as well as promoting the development of musical making within groups such as these.
