RESUMO

This dissertation analyses the musical elements that belong to the different styles and genres that characterize the work of Djalma de Andrade, a Brazilian composer and musician, who is best known as "Bola Sete". This piece aims to exemplify the notable Jazz influences in the musicians work, as well as his personal life, his humble origins, his dedication to art as a means of survival, his spirituality, the search for professional recognition in other countries and the collaboration with other important musicians - for we are aware of the importance of contributing to the history of Brazilian music, as well as the lack of work that aims to interpret the art of the acoustic guitar. The elements above mentioned that marked the style of Djalma de Andrade in the second half of the 20th century, in many ways helped build the popular Brazilian musical culture, consolidated as well, by other characters of this country. The main reference for this research was the personal archive of Anne Sete, Djalma s widow, who unselfishly provided personal information such as letters and newspaper clippings containing the trajectory of this incomparable musician. We would like to point out that his life and work are not well known in academic circles. The first chapter of this research uncovers the musician s personal and professional trajectory with a critical appreciation of the archival material. The second chapter consists of a detailed study of the elements that were key in Djalma de Andrade s compositions - identifying interpretive suggestions and presenting musical examples of his different styles and genres. But mostly, we aim to reveal the jazz influence in his compositions. The third chapter is a transcription and analysis of a selection of his work, chosen due to their importance in the national and international repertoire. We have researched and exemplified the data, pondering about the elements that characterize the work of Djalma de Andrade, "Bola Sete" - but our main focus was to study the artist s acoustic guitar repertoire and hopefully inspire new work that contribute to the musical evolution and innovation of our times
