Mário de Andrade and Waldemar Henrique are conceptualized Brazilian artists. The first one as intellectual of renowned importance inside the modernist movement, of the agitated Week of 1922 at the countless inquiries and studies on music and folklore. He was an intellectual forming of an intelligence of the national thought. Waldemar Henrique was the author of a gigantic musical work, his first compositions raise it ―Olhos verdes‖, of 1922, in the Rio receiving the denomination of ―Valsinha do Marajó‖ and ―Minha Terra‖, of 1923. In the decade of thirty his work was enlarged thematically stretching out to causes of black folklore, to dramatic regional dances, to songs and legends of the Amazon region. His studies of the music flowed together with the folklore, and his name constantly is remembered by the association that lasts a long time between his artistic work and the Amazon region. This study is based on the ―notion of experience‖ of the Amazon region on these two intellectuals, at a moment of his works in which this place flows together for the set of legends that gives support and builds the narrative of Macunaíma in Mário de Andrade and for the musical series inspired in the legendary Amazonian universe of Waldemar Henrique. When it was born and created in these bushes and rivers, and in the city of Belém, the other, an inveterate traveler to know new things and to realize, how it affirms ―other Brazil‘s‖. Similarities and differences of his approaches move us to conclusions on the Amazon region itself.

A presença da cultura afro-brasileira na música de Waldemar Henrique
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-06-29) SILVA, Edson Santos da; CHADA, Sonia Maria Moraes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1004865944722134
Waldemar Henrique has composed a number of songs, pieces for piano solo, choir, orchestra, music for soap opera, theater and films inspired by the Amazonian, indigenous and northeastern folklore, and representations of beliefs and habits of Afro-descendant populations in the Amazon and Brazil. The presence of African-Brazilian culture in Waldemar Henrique’s work can be perceived by simple observation of the lyrics, rhythms and genres used in many of his works. This research aimed at investigating the factors that contributed to the presence of African-Brazilian culture in the work of this composer. The specific objectives were to provide contextual information about Waldemar Henrique; to verify how the composer addresses the African-Brazilian theme in his compositions; and to describe and analyze the compositions called “Ritual Points.” For this, it was necessary to search for contextualized information on the composer’s life and work, verifying his relationship with people connected to the African-Brazilian culture, and the analysis of his work. Our starting point was the review of the available literature, with reference to the catalogue of his works published by Claver Filho (1978) and Miranda (1978), moreover, we considered the issues proposed by Béhague (1992), Durand (2001) and Blacking (2000), among others, the investigation of the socio-cultural and aesthetic-ideological dimensions in the study of a composer, for the understanding of his musical production. Facing the lack of pieces of writings on the subject at hand, data collection was carried out in the field, in the form of semi-structured and “episodic” interviews with musical personalities, related to the conductor, who studied and analyzed his works. From the results, we propose a classification for the works which were inspired or presented issues related to African-Brazilian theme into three categories and an updated catalogue of the composer's work.
