SUMMARY:

Urban landscapes often reflect the socioeconomic inequality present in major cities, exacerbated by the presence of drug cartels that exploit children and adolescents, further worsening social disparities. Meanwhile, public policies seek to promote transformations that often inadvertently intensify social challenges. In this scenario, notable initiatives stand out, such as children's and youth orchestras in these dangerous areas, such as the Ilha de Música Project in the Comunidade da África, in Natal. Founded in 2006, Ilha de Música emerged as an initiative to confront this scenario through educational-musical actions. From this context, this thesis aims to understand the dynamics of Cultural Salvation (C.S.) present in musical experiences in the aforementioned project. Culture inherits from religion aspects of the historically present C.S. in the lives of people living in the region of the mouth of the Potengi River, where the Ilha de Música is located. Based on the discussion about Culture, the ideal type of "Cultural Salvation" was elaborated as an instrument of approach and interpretation of musical experiences. The research investigated how C.S. was part of the formative experience of a social way of life and manifested itself in activities linked to musical learning processes during the life journey of (former) participants of the Project. As a theoretical framework, references from the Social Sciences and Sociology of Musical Education were used. A Weberian "Ideal Type" called "Cultural Salvation" was elaborated, which was used for the understanding and interpretation of data produced through interviews, field activities, and ethnographic research with former students, teachers, and residents of the Comunidade da África. The investigation revealed that the emergence of Cultural Salvation depended on two conditions: material and cultural (kultur). Regarding material conditions, the processes and repercussions of colonization on the lands of Rio Grande do Norte were studied, which marginalized descendants of Afro-Amerindians and left them vulnerable. This historical process significantly contributed to the socioeconomic disadvantage of the population residing in the Comunidade da África. As for the cultural condition, the influence of religious heritage on the culture, which manifested in three significant elements in Musical Education, was examined: The Metaphysical Veil of the Power of Music, which understood music perception as a transcendental force. The Ritualistic Order, which proposed a structured approach to musical practices. The Transformation, which emphasized the belief in the ability of Music to lead personal and social transformations. With these defined elements, the social portraits of former students of social projects were interpreted. The interpretation of the data led to the formulation of three archetypes that significantly influenced the daily approach to musical education at Ilha de Música: the deviants/lost, the enchanted, and the present. These archetypes served as fundamental points for understanding the dynamics and nuances of Musical Education in the context of Ilha de Música, shedding light on the various perspectives and experiences of former students, relatives of students, and people from the Comunidade da África and their relationships with Music.
