Festival of Viola Players in São Paulo _ Rádio Atual CNT - 1998 ==SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL== What do repentistas do? A repentista, according to the project, is someone who uses rhymed improvisation as a means of artistic expression, sung, spoken, or written, with compositions made immediately or by collecting compositions of anonymous origin or from popular tradition. Repente or cantoria is a poetic-musical art common in Northeast Brazil and is characterized by the improvisation of stanzas, that is, by their composition at the moment of the presentation. Always singing in pairs, when improvising verses, repentistas dialogue with each other and with the listeners. What is the difference between a cordel poet and a repentista? Repente is performed by repentistas, and the poetry is staged in an improvised way and accompanied by musical instruments. Cordel literature, on the other hand, is created by cordel poets, disseminated in pamphlets, and elaborated through poetry.
