Summary/Abstract: In our experience, initiatives to historically contextualize the culture, orality and Saotomean music are being implemented with too little consideration to the profundity and methodization of topics with little systemic results. Consequently, understanding between culture and the social environment, rituals, regional habits, language, orality and Saotomese music, are not frequently be realized in full magnitude. Thus, the focus of this paper is the integration of the Saotomese heritage aspects and cultural experience considering the influences of society, globalization, economies of scale and the market. We present the results of several literary works and sociocultural events on these topics in the context of São Tomé e Príncipe, which are still scarce. This leads us to consider the requirements for the study, research and applied development as a factor of social inclusion, drawing on information and communication technologies, necessary human resources, events, and other initiatives and cultural demonstrations.
