CLAIMED FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE RIVER CURUÁ: WOODEN TRUMPETS IN AMAZONIA AND APPROACHES TO REVITALIZATION BASED ON AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIND

Yannick Wey, José Edilson Curuaia de Araújo

Resumo

This article examines the discovery and potential revival of a previously undocumented side-blown, palmwood-made trumpet found in the Curuá River, in the Middle Xingu region, currently housed in the archaeological collection of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. The article outlines a methodology for the instrument’s analysis, which includes non-invasive documentation, a literature review, and plans for a reconstruction. It also considers the challenges and possibilities of reintroducing the trumpet into contemporary indigenous music, contributing to the current movement of musical revitalization. The organological properties of the instrument are considered regarding their implications for its sound and potential music-making.
