“Só deixo a profissão quando morrer.“
Joaquim Alves Vieira, ou simplesmente Joaquim Alves, nasceu em 1º de novembro de 1945, no distrito de Riacho Verde, em Mombaça-CE. Filho de Raimunda Vieira da Conceição e José Alves de Souza, reside atualmente em Juazeiro do Norte-CE.
Desde jovem, Joaquim se encantou com a cultura da Cantoria. Aos 12 anos, mudou-se com sua família para o distrito de Ouro Branco (hoje Amaniutuba), em Lavras da Mangabeira-CE. Na nova localidade, começou a ouvir os Cantadores que se apresentavam nas rádios, alimentando em si um profundo desejo pela arte da improvisação. Frequentando eventos de cantoria, ele sonhava em também se tornar um Cantador, como ele mesmo recorda: “Eu era menino, e enquanto os cantadores estavam cantando eu ficava naquela média, com aquela vontade de cantar também, e assim eu ia para as cantorias“.
Aos 19 anos, impulsionado por poetas que o encorajavam, Joaquim decidiu seguir a carreira como cantador. Comprou um violão e começou a cantar, rapidamente recebendo convite de outros poetas para formar duplas. Seu talento logo o levou a se destacar, e no início da carreira, foi convidado para cantar em uma rádio em Iguatu-CE, a convite do poeta Antônio Maracajá.
Joaquim obteve sucesso na Cantoria, conquistando bens como casa e veículo próprios. Na década de 1980, mudou-se com os pais para Juazeiro do Norte. Confessa que, apesar de gostar do município, sente a cultura muito enfraquecida, e que nunca conseguiu repetir o sucesso que tinha anteriormente na região que morava.
Apesar disso, a Cantoria é sua única profissão, e como ele mesmo afirma: “só deixo a profissão quando morrer. Não ganho muito dinheiro, mas tenho aquele prazer. continuarei sempre pra frente, cantando, ganhando muito ou pouco, mas não a deixo“.
Para Joaquim, um bom cantador nasce com a “veia poética”. Ele acredita que, apesar de a leitura ajudar, é o talento inato que realmente conta. Para ele, alguns cantadores possuem “veias” mais fortes que outros, evidenciadas pela maneira como seguem as regras da criação poética. Reconhece que não é o melhor, mas está entre os melhores, e sua rigidez com as normas já lhe trouxe conflitos com outros cantadores.
Ele lamenta a atual situação da Cantoria, comparando-a com a vivida há algumas décadas: “A diferença é grande. Antigamente o povo gostava de cantoria, hoje em dia é pouca gente que gosta, ainda tem, mas é pouca gente. Essa juventude não gosta de cantoria, gosta é dessas bandas de forró. Não acabou-se a profissão, mas à vista do passado mudou muito“. Joaquim também critica a falta de apoio das políticas públicas à cultura da Cantoria, observando que os políticos raramente contratam cantadores para eventos: “Os políticos não ajudam o Cantador, eles não convidam um cantador para cantar num comício, convida só essas bandas aí […], o cantador foi esquecido“.
Embora não tenha trabalhos gravados, Joaquim Alves participa de festivais e colaborações com outros cantadores, estando presente em faixas de discos de festivais. Afirma não ter interesse em gravações, pois acredita que o mercado fonográfico para o Cantador Repentista não oferece vantagens, já que as vendas são limitadas.
Joaquim Alves se define como um Cantador que canta o momento e reflete suas experiências, moldando assim sua arte e seu nome.

(A entrevista aconteceu no dia 16/10/2018, em sua residência, em Juazeiro do Norte-CE, para o projeto De Repente em Ação).

Throughout this great scheme of things you get a B+ for hard work. Where exactly you actually confused me personally was first in all the specifics. As they say, the devil is in the details… And that could not be much more true at this point. Having said that, allow me say to you what exactly did deliver the results. Your writing is actually rather persuasive which is probably the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, whilst I can notice the jumps in reasoning you make, I am not necessarily confident of exactly how you appear to unite your ideas which inturn produce the conclusion. For right now I will yield to your issue but hope in the future you link your facts much better.

Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any assistance is very much appreciated.

The next time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I truly thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you could possibly fix should you werent too busy looking for attention.

You can certainly see your enthusiasm within the paintings you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always go after your heart. “What power has law where only money rules.” by Gaius Petronius.

Its such as you learn my thoughts! You appear to understand so much about this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something. I believe that you simply could do with some percent to power the message home a bit, but instead of that, that is wonderful blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
