Recital de canto: transcrição e interpretação de sete (7) faixas do álbum Mutchangana de Assa Matusse

Abstract

By entering Assa Matusse's sound universe, we propose not only to transcribe and perform an interpretation of the seven tracks from the album "Mutchangana", but also to immerse ourselves in the biographical, social and cultural contexts that influence his music. His artistic journey reflects not only his musical ability, but also his personal experiences and the realities of his social and cultural environment. The choice of this theme is motivated by the relevance of the singer's music as a cultural expression and by the notable fusion of African rhythms with jazz elements present in her compositions. Bringing this topic into study about Assa Matusse's Afro jazz style and its seven tracks is bringing to the fore a social problem of the lack of appreciation for national music. This topic is very relevant because it brings with it the appreciation of Mozambican music, not only the cultural linguistic promotion. Interpreting Assa Matusse's seven tracks is not an easy task, but it does require knowledge of the language used in the songs. To prepare this course conclusion work, we sought several contributions from different authors who worked with the Afro jazz style. We sought to offer a comprehensive and contextualized view of the style under study, from its origins to its impact and relevance in the current musical scene. This multifaceted approach allows us to appreciate the complexity and richness of this singer's musical genre. Afro jazz music in Mozambique has also been influenced by the country's rich ethnic diversity, which has brought a variety of rhythms and musical styles to the local music scene. This mix of ethnic and cultural influences contributed to the creation of a unique and distinctly Mozambican sound of Afro jazz
