THE INFLUENCE OF MANAUARA'S MUSIC ON THE CULTURAL IDENTITY OF RESIDENTS: A study on the Musical Event Tacacá na Bossa
Nowadays it is known that music influences the destination choice because it is linked to the intangible heritage which strengthens the identity of a place. Therefore, it is known that the local music genres are very representative to establish a relationship between tourists and natives. Therefore, the overall goal is to analyze the influence of Manauara music on cultural identity through the Tacacá na Bossa event held in Largo São Sebastião. The specific goals are: Identify the Manauara music historicity and the Tacacá na Bossa event, researching the main characteristics of Manauara music through local artists and bands, and analyzing the importance of the musical event Tacacá na Bossa for residents with a form of cultural identity. It is believed that this study is necessary because music is present in different kinds of sociability. Regarding the Amazonian Popular Music - MPA is important in the local identity appreciation and discusses the customs and language among others. In the methodological aspect, the approach is qualitative and quantitative and the methodological objectives are descriptive and exploratory. The results allowed us to understand the Amazonian musicians goals, the importance of the local language to strengthen the culture and representativeness of the Tacacá na Bossa event for composers and visitors.
Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network
International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
