The visibility and valorization of black people in the southern Brazilian culture are vindicated in Bandone do Caverá (2008), a poem written in the pattern of the pampa tradition which take the life of Adauto Costa Ferreira, a musician that lived in the rural region of Rosário do Sul/RS. The author, Oliveira Silveira (1941-2009), purpose, in his last published work, an itinerary to the memory and oral history of remembrances of childhood from music as an aggregator element of family and community. The aim of this paper is to present an analysis of Bandone do Caverá by the composition of the protagonist as a positive reference of man, black and gaucho by means of a time that does not exist anymore. To do this reading, we consider mainly the studies of afro-brazilian literature by Cuti (2010), Miriam Alves (2010), Zilá Bernd (2011). We noted that the lyric speaker uses the ancestral history as an aggregator element of the southern culture, resulting in a homage to a figure related to the emotional memory and ethical identity of the author.
