“Não posso mais abandonar a viola, por que se eu abandonar a viola o pessoal me abandona.“
Raimundo José Vieira, filho de Cecília Rodrigues Vieira e José Vieira Filho, nasceu em Solonópole – CE, no dia 14 de abril de 1950. Hoje, aos 68 anos, ele faz da cantoria sua única profissão.
Popularmente conhecido como Raimundo Vieira, ele começou a se dedicar à cantoria aos 32 anos, influenciado por parentes que também eram violeiros. No entanto, ele acredita que já nasceu com o dom da poesia e que, mais cedo ou mais tarde, independentemente de influências familiares, sua arte se manifestaria de maneira intensa. Com 36 anos de carreira como cantador profissional, ele afirma: “a viola já me deu muitas coisas, o pessoal tem muita consideração por minha viola, então não posso mais abandoná-la”.
Raimundo destaca: “se a pessoa não nascer com o dom da poesia, ela pode ser juiz, promotor, pode ser o que for; pois não cantará que nem nós” Ele enfatiza que, além do talento natural, é necessário estudar para se tornar um bom cantador, pois isso enriquece o repertório e aprimora a pronúncia. Para ele, isso é parte do que chama de “a prática do dom”.
Ele observa que, embora fosse comum se apresentar em zonas rurais, hoje vários fatores afastam os cantadores dessas localidades. A falta de um bom inverno e a diminuição do público, que muitas vezes é composto por pessoas idosas, são algumas das razões. “Hoje, a maior parte não se ‘interte’ muito com a cultura; quem se ‘interte’ com a nossa cultura é o pessoal mais maduro, os aposentados”. Por isso, Raimundo tem se apresentado frequentemente nas romarias de Juazeiro do Norte e semanalmente em Crato – CE, em lanchonetes e pousadas. “O lugar mais cultural que já vi até hoje se chama Crato”, revela.
Ele também participa de diversos programas de rádio, incluindo as rádios Progresso e Iracema, em Juazeiro do Norte – CE. Atualmente, apresenta o programa “Toada, Canção e Poesia” na rádio Verde Vale, todos os dias, das 16:00 às 16:30, ao lado do poeta Zé Ari. Esse espaço é importante para divulgar a cantoria e promover a imagem dos poetas.
Raimundo tem se apresentado em muitas escolas na região do CraJuBar (Crato, Juazeiro do Norte e Barbalha), onde é convidado a mostrar tanto a arte do repente quanto do cordel. Ele afirma: “É muito bom para divulgar. O aluno, através de um verso nosso, às vezes se forma com a nossa poesia. Às vezes, vai decorando aquilo ali e escrevendo e, amanhã, se transforma num doutor através de uma poesia de um cantador”. Isso acontece, segundo ele, porque o poeta traz consigo uma rica bagagem de informações que compartilha em seus versos improvisados.
Por outro lado, lamenta a falta de apoio das políticas públicas para a cultura repentista, que, segundo ele, é “zero”. Embora tenha sido convidado para eventos políticos, a cantoria frequentemente não se concretiza.
Atualmente, Raimundo possui um CD solo e participou de outros CDs e DVDs de festivais. Além disso, ele é autor dos livretos “Viagem Sofrida” e “Milagre do Padre Cícero” (sobre uma criança que caiu em um cacimbão).

(A entrevista aconteceu no dia 12/04/2018 na rádio Verde Vale, em Juazeiro do Norte – CE, para o projeto De Repente em Ação).

I am curious to find out what blog system you have been using? I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest blog and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any solutions?

I have to express my appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this scenario. Because of looking out through the world-wide-web and finding principles that were not beneficial, I figured my entire life was well over. Being alive without the answers to the problems you have solved by way of your entire posting is a crucial case, as well as ones that could have in a wrong way damaged my career if I had not come across your blog. Your good mastery and kindness in dealing with the whole thing was precious. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come across such a subject like this. It’s possible to at this moment look forward to my future. Thank you so much for your impressive and effective help. I will not hesitate to recommend your blog to any individual who should receive guidelines about this problem.

I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy that I came across this in my
search for something concerning this.

I was just seeking this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.
