I. IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS BRAZIL: "The time has come for these bronzed people to show their worth..." (Assis Valente)

Quincy Jones>Alfredo Rodriguez>Munir Hossn>Roberto Mendes>Alumínio & João Saturno

II. AND THE MISSION (THE OPEN WORLD)

III. AND THE MIT ECONOMIST BEHIND THE CREATION OF THE BRAZIL-BORN Integrated Global Creative Economy

The Matrix uncoils from the Recôncavo of Bahia, final port-of-call for more enslaved human beings than any other such throughout all of human history and from where some of the most physically and spiritually uplifting music ever made evolved...

...all essentially cut off from the world at large. But after 40,000 years of artistic creation by mankind, it's finally now possible to create bridges closely interconnecting all artists everywhere (having begun with the Saturno brothers above).

Cláudio Badega Bahia

Curate anybody in here. You appear on their page. Anybody in here curates you, they appear on your page...

Joe Fiedler Arranger

...plugged into a superpower: the small world phenomenon.

Duncan Chisholm Fiddle

By the same mathematics positioning some 8 billion human beings within some 6 or so steps of each other, people in the Matrix tend to within close, accessible steps of everybody else inside the Matrix.

Horacio Hernández Drums

And by extension, to within discoverable reach of everybody everywhere on the planet.

Nardis Jazz Club Jazz Club

Small world curation is the Matrix's unprecedented innovation.

Dan Weiss Drumming Instruction

Because 40,000 years is a long time to wait.

Arto Tunçboyacıyan Armenian Folk Music

And if all art is discoverable from everywhere, then Brazil's is too.

Catherine Russell Jazz

BUT WHY BRAZIL???

Mike Marshall Violin

"The time has come for these bronzed people to show their worth..."

(Music by Assis Valente. Clip by Betão Aguiar. The Matrix was built in Salvador's Centro Histórico above, incorporating these marvelous people.)

Katuka Africanidades Editora de Livros, Book Publisher

Brazil is not a European nation. It's not a North American nation. It's not an East Asian nation. It straddles — jungle and desert and dense urban centers — both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn.

Sam Yahel Hammond B-3

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.

Brian Cox Scotland

Brazil 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 — the hand drum in the opening scene above — was almost certainly brought to Brazil by these people).

Léo Brasileiro Produtor Musical, Music Producer

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.

Jorge Washington Afro-Bahian Cuisine

Three cultures — from three continents — running for their lives, their confluence forming an unprecedented fourth. Pandeirista on the roof.

Emicida Brasil, Brazil

Nowhere else but here. Brazil itself is a matrix.

'mātriks / "source" / from "mater", Latin for "mother"
A real mother for ya!
