These Amazonic mythical narratives are based on imaginary, rich, and fantastical episodes of hillbillybumpkin life. These themes have served for years as inspiration for poetic literary constructions. The composer Waldemar Henrique stands out as a disseminator of this imagery, revealing in his works the values, beliefs, experiences, and behaviors experienced by his characters in the Amazonian context. Henrique translates through sung mythical narratives the riverine life filled with the language specific to the Amazon region and indigenous traditions. Waldemar Henrique's Amazonian mythical narratives emerge as a mystical Brazilian setting, in a place that, under the lyrical gaze of the artist, gives rise to intriguing revelations of legendary elements in new approaches. These are characters who disseminate a place of vast imaginary dimensions in legends, myths, and Brazilian identity.
