Abstract
This text seeks to recover historical evidence of the presence of the Opossum as part of cultural, political and knowledge manifestations in the context of a hierarchical and unequal society, crossed by colonial and Eurocentric structures. In this direction, we seek to understand the musical manifestation as a political component of the African agency - enslaved or free - building spaces of autonomy and freedom, affirming knowledge and cultures of African origins. To do so, we used news from newspapers from the 19th century, reports from foreign travelers and notes from scholars in ethnography who passed through the region. Indeed, it is intended to contribute to bringing to the center of the debate about the black presence in Amazonas the importance of recovering the trajectory of musical arts of African origin and understanding them as part of the strategies of struggle and resistance.
