Bio:
Abderrahmane Sissako was born in Kiffa, Mauritania on October 13th, 1961.
He is a writer and director, known for his films Timbuktu (2014), Life on Earth (1998), and Esperando a Felicidade (2002).
► The matrix originated as an extension of a record shop opened to divulge the little known music of the people of the Recôncavo and sertão of Bahia, Brazil (per this interview with David Dye for U.S. National Public Radio and hence a sugarcane cutter as our logo), along with other great Brazilian music.
► But in order to work for these people, the matrix has to work for all artists everywhere.
