Black cosmology for the studies of communication and music

Abstract

This work aims to reflect the power to develop a decolonial perspective to think about the urban manifestations of the music scene by Will Straw and thus contribute to the studies of Communication and Music, as well as to the field of education. For this, we take as a starting point the Valhalla Rock Bar of the city of Mossoró-RN. We thus observe the possibility of extending epistemology, the field of analysis and reflection by including elements of black cosmology and thus not restricting ourselves to Eurocentric and North American epistemologies. Thus, unlike other analyzes of the global music scene, we were able to identify endogenous characteristics and peculiarities, as well as allowing openings to think about other cultural manifestations and other identity profiles, which are not restricted to the male and white culture so common to bars like Valhalla.
