The present work attempts to organize information gathered about the introduction and dissemination of the shakuhachi flute tradition in Brasil, from the earliest days of the twentieth-century to the present time, taking into consideration the historical and ethnomusicological aspects of this process. We began with the studies done by Olsen (1982, 1983, 2004) and Satomi (2004) touching on subjects related to the diffusion of music and culture of the immigrants and its descendants as it would be expected. However the focal point of this research is to call attention to the presence of the Shakuhachi flute in our country independently of the geographic region or ethnic group in which it is inserted. If on one hand one narrows the focus of the research to consider just one single instrument of the Japanese culture, on the other one furthers its approach thereby extending the study process to go beyond the borders of the State of São Paulo so to cover the entire country. We have examined the path of the flute¿s evolution begining with a bibliographical survey and adding new information that appeared in the course of our fieldwork. We approached current use of the Shakuhachi taking into consideration the fact that in recent years significant changes have occurred in this country as to the instrument¿s scenario such as the introducing of works and styles diffused by Katsuya Yokoyama (1934-2010), the significant increasing in numbers of non- Japanese descendent players, among which few have become group leaders of Japanese music, and the use of the internet as a tool to promote and divulge Shakuhachi tradition. These transformations make it evident the fact that Japanese culture is gradually being shifted independently from Japanese settlements, a new phenomenon in the environment context of the Shakuhachi in Brazil (AU) | |
