Summary:From a discursive analysis from the letter of Requebra musical composition, recorded by the Olodum Band in the 1990s, we can find directions on ideological convergence of this text with one of the agendas of African-Brazilian feminists, identifying the potential of these women as muses. The construction of this identity marks a radical difference of discursive positioning in relation to the general demands of the feminist movement articulated by women who are not black. This study of theoretical assumptions of Discourse Analysis, to consider aspects of the joints involved in the lyrics as producers of a sense of purpose. The historical context is configured as constitutive of knowledge enrolled in prepared statements in a given discursive memory.

It will deal with an analysis of a phenomenon that shapes the memory of a group, under the influence of speeches scattered in certain times and places, produced the effect of polysemic materiality of language.
