The Afro-Brazilian samba de roda and candomblé serve as paradigms to discuss the dichotomy of intangibility/tangibility of cultural expressions, i.e. between the ephemerality of their experience and the endurance of their material objects and documentation. The special importance of the human body in both traditions points to the centrality of human experience in practicing, transmitting and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. Such a perspective puts into question safeguarding measures such as inventory-making and documentation of musical practices and may open the way for more appropriate methods for fostering them. Este artículo presenta algunas ideas para una conceptualización de las tradiciones musicales como parte del patrimonio cultural intangible. La samba de roda y el candomblé son tomados como paradigmas para discutir la dicotomía entre la tangibilidad y la intangibilidad de las expresiones culturales, es decir, entre lo efímero de su experiencia y la condición más permanente de sus objetos materiales y de su documentación. La importancia del uso del cuerpo para ambas tradiciones apunta al rol central que juega la experiencia humana en la práctica, transmisión y preservación del patrimonio cultural intangible. Esta perspectiva lleva a cuestionar medidas de preservación como la inventarización y la documentación de las prácticas musicales, incentivando el desarrollo de métodos más adecuados para su fortalecimiento. Este artigo apresenta algumas reflexões para conceitualizar tradições musicais como Patrimônio Cultural Imaterial, usando o samba de roda e o candomblé como paradigmas para se discutir a dicotomia entre a materialidade e a imaterialidade de expressões culturais, isto é, entre a efemeridade de sua experiência e a qualidade mais permanente de seus objetos materiais e documentação. A importância do uso do corpo para ambas as tradições aponta para a centralidade da experiência humana na prática, transmissão e preservação do Patrimônio Cultural Imaterial. Essa prespectiva questiona medidas de salvaguarda tais como a inventarização e a documentação de práticas musicais e pode incentivar o desenvolvimento de métodos mais adequados para o seu fortalecimento.
