Abstract

  Two audiovisual works explore the role of women in the matrilineal
transmission of samba and rumba, generational changes, and the relationship
between men and women revealed in the body movements. The first case study
follows the Jelita family, which hails from Saubara in the state of Bahia, Brazil,
and the second, a family headed by a woman named Lidia in Trinidad, Cuba.
A supplementary text lays out the methodology used for the study, the cultural
and historical background of the two cases, and an analysis of women’s role in
perpetuating these female body memories and the places for their transmission.
