Abstract: The Lampion cangaço, considered here from 1920 to 1940, it took place between the vestiges of an archaic sertão and the beginnings of a modern sertão.He lived intensely the tension of this transition.At times, he stands himself out clinging to the past, at others he fearlessly launched himself into the future and, among these onslaughts guided by violence, plunder and revenge of the tarnished honor, he created an exuberante, life-affirming and modern aesthetic.They carried out a transgression of archaic physiognomy and transcribed the apollonian and dionysian impulses into the sertão.They remixed the archaic, giving it a modern look, and through aesthetic interventions they gave common objects an aura and authenticity.In costumes and accessories, they created a fashion that went beyond the threshold of clothing.In music, they incorporated new beats to traditional rhythms and created xaxado.In dance, they innovated with the creation of footsteps, a warrior and festive dance, today called xaxado.The cangaceiros became performers of themselves.The cangaço aesthetic has influenced and influences various artistic manifestations, in addition to having become a cultural mark of the northeast region of Brazil.
