| Summary: | Batuko, a music-choreographic genre from Cape Verde, an African country, has been recreated as a markedly feminine space, although there is some male presence. Aiming to think how it can aggregate different ways of seeing the world, particularly of women drummers, through the different ways of building bodies and desires, I propose an association between the erotic grammar of Batuko and the concept Deleuze-Guattari “desiring machines”. The aesthetic notions of giving Ku Torno, the notions of desire and of eroticism triggered by the Kutornadeiras women, at some point, subvert and destabilize the Cape Verdean micropolitical spaces of the subjects. |
