Abstract

MANSUTTI RODRIGUEZ, Alexander. Warime Piaroa: Four Performances in One Rite. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2019, vol.55, n.2, pp.149-167. ISSN 0486-6525.  https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.803.

Warime is a form of yuruparí celebrated by the Piaroas of the Venezuelan and Colombian Ori-noquia. During its performance, there are four scenarios of musical communication, two dialogues and two monologues. We observe that the profane dialogues coincide in the midst of sacred monologues, the sacred songs of rigid structure are answered by profane chants of personalized contents. We conclude that the profane songs in response to the sacred songs are the humanization of the relationship and that the dialogue meetings are possible where there is equity without danger, whereas the monologues occur where communication is highly hierarchized.
