Abstract
The Caboclos are a pantheon of deities worshipped in the Candombl�s of Bahia and throughout Brazil. They are Brazilian cowboys and Indians f�ted at public parties and private ceremonies and invoked by devotees to work on earth. The incorporation of this pantheon was enabled by the pragmatic efficacy attributed to music in ritual contexts of Candombl� worship. In these ceremonies, music is not just an accompaniment to ritual actions; it is the means by which ritual work is done. This pragmatic efficacy creates the conditions of possibility for innovation and incorporation of new gods and new ritual practices.
