O SOM RESSOANTE DOS TAMBORES

Abstract

JOSÉ CRAVEIRINHA WAS A POET FROM MOZAMBIQUE WHO BROACHED THE COLONIALISM’S CONTRADICTIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NEGRITUDE. THE CRAVERINHAS’S VERSES VALUE THE CULTURE, THE STRUGGLE AND HISTORY OF HIS COUNTRY. THIS RESEARCH INTENDS TO ANALYSE THE LITERATURE PROJECT OF CRAVERINHA, BASED ON THE POEM QUERO SER TAMBOR, PUBLISHED IN KARINGANA UA KARINGANA (1982). THE PROPOSAL OF THIS ANALYSIS IS TO EMPHASIZE AFRICAN CULTURE ELEMENTS AND THE LITERARY MEAN WHICH WERE USED BY CRAVEIRINHA IN ORDER TO VALUE THE ASPECTS OF THE MOZAMBICAN CULTURE.
