ABSTRACT
This work analyses some process of the constitution of the cangaço's collective memory
and also tries to recuperate the manner that in different villages of the north east of Brazil
the memory of Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, the "cangaceiro" known as Lampião, is
perpetuated. It takes the surge of some places in the cangaço's memory and looks into the
folk group called " Cangaceiros de Lampião", on Paulo Afonso village, in the sertão of
Bahia. The oral tradition of the people who had been interviewed and the stories about their
lives show that the cangaço keeps alive the memory field, actualized in the present contests.
