Abstract

This text departs from the panorama that I wrote in 2007 about the music of the Amerindian societies in lowland South America. Since then up to now, an important growth of this area of study is happening. Already in 2007, I considered promising the results of the efforts of research. Something much stronger I can say today, also pointing to the necessity of analysis of the respective studies toward the drawing of the profile of music in the region and the projection of new inquiries. I will make this here briefly, on the basis of some ethnographies, includingthat one by myself, about the ritual of Yawari of the Kamayurá of Upper Xingu.
