“Me sinto bem satisfeito, sempre gostei de incentivar a quem vem chegando, para que cresça sempre mais.“
Moacir Carneiro Lima nasceu em Teixeira-PB, uma cidade reconhecida por sua forte tradição de poetas repentistas e cordelistas, no dia 8 de agosto de 1952. Filho de Jovita Maria e José Carneiro Lima, Moacir dedica-se há 50 anos à arte do repente e atualmente reside em Juazeiro do Norte-CE.
Seu início na cantoria ocorreu de forma muito natural. Ele conta que ouvia os repentistas improvisando e, a partir dessa experiência, começou a improvisar também. Com apenas 15 anos, comprou um violão e começou a praticá-lo junto aos versos que já escrevia. Desde então, decidiu seguir a arte da cantoria. Naquela época, sem acesso à TV e ao rádio, tudo que aprendia vinha das cantorias que ocorriam nas zonas rurais do Crato, onde morava até então.
Desde então, Moacir dedicou-se fielmente às cantorias, festivais e eventos aos quais era convidado, especialmente na região do Cariri, com ênfase nos municípios de Nova Olinda e Santana do Cariri, onde, segundo ele, cantou com mais frequência.
Entre os anos de 2014 e 2017, Moacir se afastou da profissão de cantador devido a um tratamento de saúde em Jales – SP, que envolvia uma cirurgia na região nasal. Entretanto, ele retornou ao Cariri no início de 2018 disposto a retomar seus trabalhos. Como ele mesmo afirmou: “A cantoria é minha profissão, não sei fazer outra coisa, eu só sei cantar”.
Durante sua estadia em São Paulo, Moacir encontrou outros violeiros e teve a oportunidade de tocar a viola nordestina ao lado de quem tocava a viola caipira, cada um cantando improvisos ao seu modo. Foi lá que adquiriu a viola que apresenta atualmente.
Para Moacir, saber ler não é uma exigência fundamental para a profissão de cantador; ele acredita que o dom da poesia é suficiente para viver da arte, desde que exista talento. Ele se considera um bom cantador, e o público também o reconhece: “sei escrever e ler muito pouco, mas a cantoria eu sei fazer”.
Ele observa que cerca de 70% das cantorias diminuíram em frequência, e que, atualmente, a maioria delas ocorre na zona rural, onde há mais renovações e festas desse tipo.
Moacir sempre se dedicou a incentivar novos cantadores, contribuindo para aumentar o número de poetas. Sobre ter sido mencionado pelo poeta Cicero da Silva como alguém que o ajudou no início de sua carreira, ele diz: “me sinto bem satisfeito, eu sempre gostei de incentivar a quem vem chegando”.
Embora não tenha trabalhos oficiais gravados, já participou de inúmeras cantorias ao lado de grandes poetas da região do Cariri. Além disso, teve dois irmãos repentistas, Júlio Carneiro e Luciano Carneiro, ambos residiam na cidade de Crato – CE.
Ao final da entrevista, Moacir concluiu: “Meu trabalho eu garanto de apresentar em qualquer parte”. E de fato, isso se comprova por meio de suas histórias e suas rimas repletas de desenvoltura e afeto.

A entrevista aconteceu no dia 17/04/2018 em sua residência, em Juazeiro do Norte-CE, para o projeto De Repente em Ação

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

Throughout this grand scheme of things you’ll get a B+ with regard to hard work. Where you actually lost me personally was first in the particulars. As they say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more correct right here. Having said that, let me tell you what exactly did do the job. Your writing is certainly extremely powerful and this is probably why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, whilst I can notice a leaps in reason you make, I am not sure of exactly how you appear to unite your points which inturn make the conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your position however hope in the future you connect the facts better.

I do enjoy the way you have presented this difficulty plus it does indeed provide us a lot of fodder for thought. However, from what I have seen, I simply just hope when the responses pack on that people today stay on issue and in no way start upon a soap box of the news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this fantastic point and even though I can not agree with it in totality, I regard the standpoint.
