Abstract
As digital technologies are increasingly present in our day-to-day activities andaccess to information over the Internet has been gradually increasing, many of the content thatwas originally produced analogically is being scanned around the globe. The format ofmuseums and collections of traditional research has been systematically replaced in digitalplatforms, either through the digitization of these collections and their availability in platformson the Internet, or through the work of colecctors without institutional links that has beenpromoting a greater democratization of the knowledge. As the internet is also a space forstruggle for memory, the existence of electronic sites such as blogs allow a greater possibility ofaccess to non-hegemonic cultures, as is the case of music produced on the African continent.This research aims to understand the process of the formation of archives for the digitization ofcollections of African music and its availability on the Internet, problematizing the roles thatmusic can play in the representation of the memories and cultures of these peoplescontemporaneously through the networks in the internet.

E essas relações impactam diretamente nos processos de memória, pois ao privilegiar ou manter um tipo de representação que enfatiza a alteridade, e tendo já o Ocidente um histórico de fixar essa alteridade como negativa, acaba impondo às culturas africanas uma imagem a qual se torna muito difícil de desvincular
Através desses tipos de discursos, as memórias do Blues acabaram se misturando com a de outros estilos musicais do norte do continente africano nas rotas entre o Mississipi e Niafunké[4], e obviamente, mesmo quando discurso representa em África a origem do processo, o referencial cultural que vai se firmar acaba sendo o ocidental, nesse caso o Blues
Summary
As digital technologies are increasingly present in our day-to-day activities and access to information over the Internet has been gradually increasing, many of the content that was originally produced analogically is being scanned around the globe. Não que necessariamente aí resida o problema, por mais que as experiências de protagonismo africanas tenham nos deixado fascinados com as possibilidades de construção e percepção de suas próprias memórias, mas a forma como muito tem sido feito são, por vezes, significativamente problemáticas.
