The present work aims to study the spectacularity of the female body in Suça of Natividade-TO. A traditional manifestation that encompasses dance and music, tradition centenary that has as its formative matrix the mixture of rituals deriving from cosmologies and African, indigenous and Portuguese traditions inserted in the religious festivals of different regions Brazilian women, which is reflected in the movements and gestures of the dance and in the musical instruments. It is a reflection from the ethnocenological point of view with a focus on body poetics women conducted by transcultural processes and has as a reference the studies of Fernando Ortiz, Armindo Bião and Leda Maria Martins, interconnected issues of racism and gender present in the research of Lélia Gonzalez, Djamila Ribeiro and Grada Kilomba. Such interlocution proposal shows how the absence of research that brings the female voice has made the recognition of the place and role of women in Suça unfeasible, thus hiding the way of its reference in history. In the Nagô tradition, female ancestry is represented by birds, this is how I highlight the female body in Suça as a living archive, bird women acting in the production of their nest of traditions. Thus, echoing the voice of the guardians of memory may point to new forms of (re)cognition of women in traditional manifestations breaking with the invisibility of their place in the universe of culture Brazilian.
