THE GREAT BLACK MUSIC OF THE ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO: A BRIEF BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW.
UMA BREVE REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Keywords:
Experimentalism, Avant-garde, Black Diaspora, Performance, Black Creative PraxisAbstract
The USA group Art Ensemble of Chicago, which emerged in the mid-1960s, is one of the most influential representatives of Afro-diasporic musical and performance experimentalism. They are considered avatars of a black sonic avant-garde, little studied in Brazil but influential in the global artistic world. This brief bibliographical review focuses on the work of the main researchers dedicated to the group's work and aims to contribute to the knowledge of the rich creative methodologies and political strategies employed by the group as a black creative praxis, reconciling the ethical and aesthetic objectives that guided the processes of self-determination of this group, and which can serve as a horizon and inspiration for so many other artistic processes.
