Masters of Places: Music and Territory in Makadade (Atauro, East Timor)

On the island of Atauro, certain musical forms are deeply connected to space, which the Adadi conceive of in six primary directions. Each direction is governed by opun (ʻownersʼ, ʻmastersʼ). Specific melodies, rhythms, vocal calls, and instruments, distinguish neighboring territorial zones. This mus...

Sur l’île d’Atauro, certaines formes musicales sont intimement liées à l’espace, que les Adadi conçoivent selon six directions principales, chacune régie par des opun (ʻpropriétairesʼ, ʻmaîtresʼ). Des mélodies, rythmes, appels vocaux ou instruments spécifiques différencient ainsi des zones territoriales voisines. Cette polarisation musicale, perceptible dans les discours et les contenus musicaux, révèle l’importance de l’axe est-ouest, structurant le territoire Adadi. Chaque orientation se voit associée à des valeurs distinctes, exprimées à travers des formes sonores, notamment au moyen d’instruments complémentaires qui correspondent aux massifs oriental et occidental. La musique s’inscrit dans un système d’oppositions spatiales, révélant une hiérarchie et une dynamique d’occupation territoriale entre groupes rivaux.
