bio

DJALMA CORREA - The youngest of a traditionally musical family, his grandfather played  in a chamber orchestra as a flutist and his sisters became pianists.

At age 12, he moved to Belo Horizonte and started studying music in a more systematic way.

He learned drums with professional musicians, who taught him the traditional beats. He graduated in electronics.  He participated in various musical groups in the capital  of Minas Gerais.

One day, one of his sisters, who lived in Salvador, sent him a program of a holiday course on electronic music, which made him move to the capital of Bahia.

At the Music Seminary in Salvador, he studied composition and percussion.

​After studying a few months in the Seminary, he began to play in the Symphony Orchestra, which forced him to choose a supplementary instrument: the contrabass.

He obtained from the Seminary director a room in the basement of the building and there he installed his workshop.  In 1964, he participated in the Teatro Vila Velha, in Salvador, of the show "Nós por exemplo", which included Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia, Gal Costa, Tom Zé, Perna, among others, and that would become the beginning of the movement that would later be known as "Tropicalism." At that time, it was defined by percussion, opting to work rhythms and typically Brazilian instruments. He began to add elements to the drums, ranging from drums to a potty. In Bahia, he was the first to use the Timpany on the drums. In the "Nós por exemplo" show, he presented the composition "Bossa 2.000 d. C.", Based on the experience acquired with electronic music for drums.
