Compreensão da historia dos rituais kuzingula e kulebela na comunidade muani na vila de ibo no período de 1975 até actualidade

Abstract

n this work, the general objective is to understand the history of the Kuzingula and Kulebela Rituals in the Muani Community in the Village of Ibo in the period from 1975 to the present day. The kuzingula ritual is a practice that consists not only of fortifying the community, but also of providing security and recognizing the existence of the powerful Allah and asking that he continue to watch over that community with well-being and security. On the other hand, the Kulebela ritual consists of choosing places considered sacred where the community, when faced with a problem, be it general or individual, resorts to make their requests in that specific place in order to mitigate their concerns. It is important to note that there is always someone in charge of this location to guide others on how to place an order. The research is qualitative. As for data collection techniques, a bibliographic review was used. The first cholera epidemic that struck the village of Ibo occurred in 1859. With the outbreak of this epidemic, the community felt the need to practice the Kulebela ritual as a way of asking their creator Allah to remove this evil from that community. In 2006, Mozambique simultaneously ratified the 2003 and 2005 UNESCO Conventions, called the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, respectively. In 1988, the country drafted Law 10/88, which determines the legal protection of material and immaterial assets of Mozambican cultural heritage. Regarding the role of youth in preserving these rituals, it is concluded that society needs young people to take actions in the future, however, they need to live in the present. Communicate how people should behave and what standards of decorum are acceptable; draw attention to the way procedures are carried out; establish the way in which people can have fun; release tensions and encourage innovations.(Tradução nossa)
