The author creates a dialogue between rural education and music education in (semi-)urban black contexts, to establish a triangulation between music education, the teaching of Afro-Brazilian history and culture and the specificities of rural, urban and peripheral in terms of diverse racial and sociocultural identities, which has been very little taken into account, both in the areas of music education and in the areas of rural education. The methodology takes place in two different moments, proposing a dialogue between a first experience of engaged research in music education, in the old neighborhood of Palafitas in Alagados – Uruguai in Salvador, and the current research project Koringoma (UNEB), directed by the author, which through the tools of qualitative research, has been dedicated to mapping and studying black musical and socio-educational territories in Salvador and region. The narrative connects with a kind of longitudinal research, which has been resuming and claiming the debate on a theory and practice of music education for over 20 years, based on the diverse sound and performance knowledge and roots of African identity. It also debates possible paths in education for the diversity of musicalities and corporeality in Bahia, questioning the separation between urbanity and rurality in rural education, with regard to peripheral black cultures and musicalities.
