Abstract

In the following pages, I will take on some ethnographic data collected in one such movement that participates, in its own specific terms, in this process: the Igreja Evangélica Filadélfia or Philadelphia Evangelical Church, a Pentecostal charismatic movement developed among gypsy communities in Portugal and Spain, also since the 1960’s. I will do this by trying to analyse therole of musical scores and lyrics in the transmission of religious ideology2 and development of socio-religious practices. In order to do so, I will first outline the main themes concerning this religious movement, and then elaborate a theoretical approach that will allow me to understand this specific musical practice as a powerful discoursive element.
