Abstract

David Miguel dos Santos, a composer from Pará born in the Jurunas neighborhood, in Belém do Pará, on December 29, 1926, and died in this same city, on February 19, 2000, is the object of this research. Investigating the factors that affect your creative process from an ethnomusicological perspective was the general objective of this research. The specific objectives were: to provide contextualized information about this composer, to provide a commented catalogue of his works, to describe his creative process and analyze the sambasplot of this composer. To achieve the proposed objectives, I conducted a bibliographic, discographic, imagery and audiovisual in various collections; launched assumptions of oral history (semi-structured interviews, testimonials and narratives), interpretation and analysis of the collected and recorded data, including: historical, contextual, cognitive, structural, textual and musical, with the theoretical support of authors of Ethnomusicology and Anthropology, among others, Béhague (1992), Blacking (2000), Merriam (1964), Nettl (2005) and Durand (2012). David Miguel, due to the importance of his work, is inserted in the place that is rightfully his: the Popular Music Of Pará.
