“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

obviously like your website but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very bothersome to tell the reality then again I will surely come back again.

Hi there this is kind of 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 knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The following time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my option to read, but I really thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could possibly repair if you happen to werent too busy in search of attention.

I’ve been browsing online more than three hours lately, but I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely price enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will probably be much more helpful than ever before.

Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!
6 de setembro de 2023 at 23:42
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.
