Imagine the world's creative economy at your fingertips. Imagine 10 doors side-by-side. Beyond each, 10 more, each opening to a "creative" somewhere around the planet. After passing through 8 such doorways you will have followed 1 pathway out of 100 million possible (2 sets of doorways yield 10 x 10 = 100 pathways). This is a simplified version of the metamathematics that makes it possible to reach everybody in the global creative economy in just a few steps It doesn't mean that everybody will be reached by everybody. It does mean that everybody can  be reached by everybody.

Why a "Matrix"?

 

I was explaining the ideas behind this nascent network to (João) Teoria (trumpet player above) over cervejas at Xique Xique (a bar named for a town in Bahia) in the Salvador neighborhood of Barris...

 

And João said (in Portuguese), repeating what I'd just told him, with one addition: "A matrix where musicians can recommend other musicians, and you can move from one to another..."

 

A matrix! That was it! The ORIGINAL meaning of matrix is "source", from "mater", Latin for "mother". So the term would help congeal the concept in the minds of people the network was being introduced to, while giving us a motto: "We're a real mother for ya!" (you know, Johnny "Guitar" Watson?)

 

The original idea was that musicians would recommend musicians, the network thus formed being "small world" (commonly called "six degrees of separation"). In the real world, the number of degrees of separation in such a network can vary, but while a given network might have billions of nodes (people, for example), the average number of steps between any two nodes will usually be minuscule.

 

Thus somebody unaware of the magnificent music of Bahia, Brazil will be able to conceivably move from almost any musician in this matrix to Bahia in just a few steps...

 

By the same logic that might move one from Bahia or anywhere else to any musician anywhere.

 

And there's no reason to limit this system to musicians. To the contrary, while there are algorithms written to recommend music (which, although they are limited, can be useful), there are no algorithms capable of recommending journalism, novels & short stories, painting, dance, film, chefery...

 

...a vast chasm that this network — or as Teoria put it, "matrix" — is capable of filling.

 

@ Ground Zero

 

Have you, dear friend, ever noticed how different places scattered across the face of the globe seem almost to exist in different universes? As if they were permeated throughout with something akin to 19th century luminiferous aether, unique, determined by that place's history? It's like a trick of the mind's light (I suppose), but standing on beach or escarpment in Salvador and looking out across the Baía de Todos os Santos to the great Recôncavo, and mindful of what happened there, one must be led to the inevitable conclusion that one is in a place unique to history, and to the present*.

 

 

"Chegou a hora dessa gente bronzeada mostrar seu valor / The time has come for these bronzed people to show their value..."Música: Assis Valente of Santo Amaro, Bahia. Vídeo: Betão Aguiar.

 

*More enslaved human beings entered the Bay of All Saints and the Recôncavo than any other final port-of-call throughout all of mankind's history.

 

These people and their descendants created some of the most uplifting music ever made, the foundation of Brazil's national art. We wanted their music to be accessible to the world (it's not even accessible here in Brazil) so we created a platform by which everybody's creativity is mutually accessible, including theirs.

 

El Aleph

 

The network was built in an obscure record shop (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar found it) in a shimmering Brazilian port city...

 

...inspired in (the kabbalah-inspired fiction of) Borges' (short story) El Aleph, that in the pillar in Cairo's Mosque of Amr, where the universe in its entirety throughout all time is perceivable as an infinite hum from deep within the stone.

 

It "works" by virtue of the "small-world" phenomenon...the same responsible for the fact that most of us 7 billion or so beings are within 6 or fewer degrees of each other.

 

It was described (to some degree) and can be accessed via this article in British journal The Guardian (which named our radio of matrixed artists as one of ten best in the world):

 

www.theguardian.com/travel/2020/apr/17/10-best-music-radio-station-around-world

 

With David Dye for U.S. National Public Radio: www.npr.org/2013/07/16/202634814/roots-of-samba-exploring-historic-pelourinho-in-salvador-brazil

 

All is more connected than we know.

 

Per the "spirit" above, our logo is a cortador de cana, a cane-cutter. It was designed by Walter Mariano, professor of design at the Federal University of Bahia to reflect the origins of the music the shop specialized in. The Brazilian "aleph" doesn't hum... it dances and sings.

 

If You Can't Stand the Heat

 

Image above is from the base of the cross in front of the church of São Francisco do Paraguaçu in the Bahian Recôncavo

 

Sprawled across broad equatorial latitudes, stoked and steamed and sensual in the widest sense of the word, limned in cadenced song, Brazil is a conundrum wrapped in a smile inside an irony...

 

It is not a European nation. It is not a North American nation. It is not an East Asian nation. It straddles — jungle and desert and dense urban centers — both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. Brazil absorbed over ten times the number of enslaved Africans taken to the United States of America, and is a repository of African deities (and their music) now largely forgotten in their lands of origin. It was a refuge (of sorts) for Sephardim fleeing an Inquisition which followed them across the Atlantic (that unofficial symbol of Brazil's national music — the pandeiro — was almost certainly brought to Brazil by these people). Across the parched savannas of the interior of Brazil's culturally fecund nordeste/northeast, where wizard Hermeto Pascoal was born in Lagoa da Canoa (Lagoon of the Canoe) and raised in Olho d'Águia (Eye of the Eagle), much of Brazil's aboriginal population was absorbed into a caboclo/quilombola culture punctuated by the Star of David. Three cultures — from three continents — running for their lives, their confluence forming an unprecedented fourth. Pandeirista on the roof. Nowhere else but here.

 

Oligarchy, plutocracy, dictatorships and massive corruption — elements of these are still strongly entrenched — have defined, delineated, and limited Brazil.

 

But strictured & bound as it has been and is, Brazil has buzz...not the shallow buzz of a fashionable moment...but the deep buzz of a population which in spite of — or perhaps because of — the tough slog through life they've been allotted by humanity's dregs-in-fine-linen, have chosen not to simply pull themselves along but to lift their voices in song and their bodies in dance...to eat well and converse well and much and to wring the joy out of the day-to-day happenings and small pleasures of life which are so often set aside or ignored in the European, North American, and East Asian nations.

 

For this Brazil has a genius perhaps unparalleled in all other countries and societies, a genius which thrives alongside peeling paint and holes in the streets and roads, under bad organization by the powers-that-be, both civil and governmental, under a constant rain of societal indignities...

 

Which is all to say that if you don't know Brazil and you're expecting any semblance of order, progress and light, you will certainly find the light! And the buzz of a people who for generations have responded to privation at many different levels by somehow rising above it all.

 

"Onde tem miséria, tem música!"* - Raymundo Sodré

 

And it's not just music. And it's not just Brazil.

 

Welcome to the kitchen!

 

* "Where there is misery, there is music!" Remarked during a conversation arcing from Bahia to Haiti and Cuba to New Orleans and the south side of Chicago and Harlem to the villages of Ireland and the gypsy camps and shtetls of Eastern Europe...

  • What's Up? “Na grande safra de músicos que desembarcou no Rio de Janeiro, principalmente na Lapa, em busca de viver a efervescência que o renovado bairro boêmio abrigou a partir da virada dos anos 1990 para os 2000, surgiu, vindo do Sul do país, um acordeonista ímpar. Alessandro “Bebê” Kramer, ou simplesmente Bebê Kramer, trouxe na bagagem, além do instrumento mais popular por aquelas bandas, uma bagagem musical de fronteira, de diálogo intercultural, e os ritmos regionais. E mais, uma rara capacidade de absorver conhecimentos, de reconhecer beleza no novo. E isso o acompanhou em suas andanças ao lado de músicos como Yamandu Costa, Hermeto Pascoal, Carlos Malta, Toninho Horta, Hamilton de Holanda e outros.”

    Por João Pimentel

Life & Work

  • Bio: Alessandro Kramer nasceu na cidade de Vacaria, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, e começou a tocar acordeon ainda muito jovem, inspirado pelo seu pai, Alencar Rodrigues, um acordeonista bastante conhecido na região. Alessandro, hoje mais conhecido como Bebê Kramer, é considerado um dos maiores acordeonistas do Brasil na atualidade e é um dos nomes mais significativos da nova geração de acordeonistas também no exterior. Como compositor, Bebê apresenta uma estética musical inovadora na qual traz a expressão de sua fonte inicial, o Rio Grande do Sul, com a junção de outros sotaques, sempre tendo como característica principal sua forte energia ao tocar.

    O começo da sua carreira como músico profissional, aconteceu ainda na adolescência, e ganhou força quando escolheu a cidade de Florianópolis, em Santa Catarina, para ser o palco do seu crescimento musical, vindo a tocar com músicos altamente conceituados, como Guinha Ramires, Alegre Correa, Toninho Horta e Arismar do Espírito Santo. Ainda em Santa Catarina, com outros quatro grandes músicos; Endrigo Bettega, Ronaldo Saggiorato, Guinha Ramires e Mario Conde, Bebê formou a banda chamada Dr. Cipó, com a qual gravou três álbuns que são uma importante referência para músicos e admiradores da música de todo o mundo.

    Ao longo da sua carreira, Bebê Kramer já gravou e tocou com grandes artistas da música Brasileira e mundial, tais como: Hermeto Paschoal, Guinga, Arismar do Espírito Santo, Toninho Horta, Moraes Moreira, Paulo Moura, Silvério Pontes, Zé da Velha, Hamilton de Holanda, Marco Pereira, Carlos Malta, Yamandú Costa, bem como os acordeonistas Dominguinhos, Osvaldinho do Acordeon e Renato Borghetti.

    Com seu notável conhecimento de harmonia e improvisação, Bebê teve sua primeira base, principalmente na música do seu Estado natal, Rio Grande do Sul, e hoje, toca choro, samba, tango, jazz e todos os outros estilos musicais com grande desenvoltura.

    Sua música já o levou em turnês por diversos países do mundo como: França, Espanha, Bélgica, Alemanha, Itália, Suíça, Holanda, Israel, China, Angola, Argentina, Liechtenstein e Áustria. Nesse último, participou por duas vezes do Festival de Acordeon de Viena, sendo considerado pelos críticos como um dos pontos altos do evento.

    Em 2008, mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro, onde vive desde então, e este é certamente o lugar onde seus horizontes musicais se expandiram, tornando-o um dos mais renomados músicos no cenário da música instrumental Brasileira atualmente.

    O álbum “A Casa”, marca o início de sua carreira solo, em 2009, tendo as participações de Guinha Ramires, Guto Wirtti e Hamilton de Holanda, com a produção de Alegre Correa.

    Com Guinha Ramires e Alegre Corrêa gravou, na Áustria, o CD “Laçador”, o qual apresentou em diversos países da Europa e surpreendeu público e crítica.

    Participou, ao lado de Yamandu Costa, da gravação de um DVD ao vivo, com o qual excursionou pela China e Europa.

    Sua parceria com Toninho Ferragutti resultou no CD “Como Manda o Figurino”, com composições de ambos, e repertório variado, lançado em 2011.

    Gravou em 2012, o CD “Realejo”, com Gabriel Grossi, trabalho onde desfrutam da intimidade musical que lhes é peculiar.

    Do encontro fundamental com o maestro Paulo Moura, que o convidou para ser um de seus “batutas”, nome que o clarinetista emprestou de Pixinguinha, Bebê desenvolveu a ideia de explorar mais o acordeão no contexto da gafieira. Daí surgiu o projeto Gafieira do Bebê, em que o músico arregimenta um time de grandes músicos para executar um repertório de clássicos e de canções que ganham novos arranjos e levadas. O primeiro bailão aconteceu em fevereiro de 2014, no Cordão da Bola Preta, com participação da cantora Áurea Martins. “Eu, como gaúcho e acordeonista, tenho um histórico de bailes vida afora. Quando vim morar no Rio, absorvendo e sendo absorvido por esta cultura rica e diversificada não pude deixar de me influenciar pelo baile de gafieira” – explica Bebê, citando também outras de suas referências, a “menor big band do Mundo”, o trombonista Zé da Velha, e o trompetista Silvério Pontes, com quem toca constantemente. Bebê é acompanhado por craques como o violonista Marco Pereira, pelo contrabaixista Guto Wirtti, pelo baterista Cassius Tepperson, pela percussão de Bebeto e pelos sopros de Zé Bigorna, Everson e Aquiles Moraes.

    Acompanhar Bebê Kramer e seu fole em sua viagem atemporal pelos salões de baile é garantia de leveza, alegria e boa música.

    Com os músicos Yamandu Costa, Rogerio Caetano e Luis Barcelos, gravou em 2015 o álbum “Tocata à Amizade” - vencedor do Prêmio da Música Brasileira 2016 em duas categorias: Melhor Disco Instrumental e Melhor Grupo.

    Sua versatilidade é destacada no CD “Roda Gingante” (2016) com Arismar do Espírito Santo, Gabriel Grossi, Leonardo Amuedo e Thiago Espírito Santo.

    “Alessandro Kramer Quarteto”, lançado em 2017, traz as participações de Guto Wirtti, Luis Barcelos e Sergio Valdeos, e apresenta claramente sua identidade musical, mesclando a tradição da música gaúcha com a ousadia que é sempre tão presente na sua musicalidade e foi indicado no ano de 2018 ao Prêmio da Música Brasileira, concorrendo com Hermeto Pascoal e Hamilton de Holanda.

    Com Teco Cardoso e Swami Jr, lançou em 2019, o álbum “Dança do Tempo”, que reúne um repertório autoral apresentando uma estética requintada.

    Em outubro de 2019, Bebê Kramer lançou o álbum “Vertical” reunindo com participações mais que especiais de grandes nomes da música instrumental brasileira. Kiko Freitas, Paulinho Fagundes, Eduardo Neves, Michel Dorfman, Guto Wirtti, Armando Marçal, Gabriel Vieira e Ernesto Fagundes, criam com Bebê Kramer uma unidade musical perfeita e assinada pela engenharia de gravação, mixagem e produção de Moogie Canazio. Em maio de 2020, foi lançado pelos estúdios Áudio Porto, o documentário “Vertical”, que aborda os bastidores do álbum. A cumplicidade com os músicos convidados é um dos aspectos mostrados neste recorte audiovisual sobre o nascimento da obra de Bebê Kramer, um dos maiores acordeonistas do País.
