Salvador Bahia Brazil Matrix

The Matrix Online Network is a platform conceived & built in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil and upon which people & entities across the creative economic universe can 1) present in variegated detail what it is they do, 2) recommend others, and 3) be recommended by others. Integrated by recommendations and governed by the metamathematical magic of the small world phenomenon (popularly called "6 degrees of separation"), matrix pages tend to discoverable proximity to all other matrix pages, no matter how widely separated in location, society, and degree of fame. From Quincy Jones to celestial samba in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to you, all is closer than we imagine.

@ 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...

 

This 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...

 

Harlem to Bahia to the Planet



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...

 

Like this (but in Portuguese): "It's kind of like Facebook if it didn't spy on you, but reversed... more about who you don't know than who you do know. And who doesn't know you but would be glad if they did. It's kind of like old Myspace Music but instead of having "friends" it has a list on your page of people you recommend. Not just musicians but writers, painters, filmmakers, dancers, chefs... anybody in the creative economy. It has a list of people who recommend you, or through whom you are recommended. It deals with arts which aren't recommendable by algorithm but need human intelligence behind recommendations. And the people who are recommended can recommend, creating a network of recommendations wherein by the small world phenomenon most people in the creative economy are within several steps of everybody else in the creative economy, no matter where they are in the world. Like a chessboard which could have millions of squares, but you can get from any given square to any other in no more than six steps..."

 

And João said (in Portuguese): "A matrix where you can move from one artist 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.

CURATION

  • from this node by: Matrix+

This is the Universe of

  • Name: Chico César
  • City/Place: São Paulo
  • Country: Brazil
  • Hometown: Catolé do Rocha, Paraíba

Life & Work

  • Bio: Nascido Francisco César Gonçalves em 26 de janeiro de 1964, no município de Catolé do Rocha, interior da Paraíba, aos dezesseis anos Chico César foi para a capital João Pessoa, onde se formou em jornalismo pela Universidade Federal da Paraíba, ao mesmo tempo em que participava do grupo Jaguaribe Carne, que fazia poesia de vanguarda.

    Pouco depois, aos 21 anos, mudou-se para São Paulo. Trabalhando como jornalista e revisor de textos, aperfeiçoou-se em violão, multiplicou suas composições e começou a formar o seu público. Sua carreira artística tem repercussão internacional. A maioria de suas canções são poesias de alto poder de encanto lingüístico.

    Em 1991, foi convidado para fazer uma turnê pela Alemanha, e o sucesso o animou a deixar o jornalismo para dedicar-se somente à música. Formou a banda Cuscuz Clã (que seria o nome de seu segundo álbum), e passou então a se apresentar na casa noturna paulistana Blen Blen Club.

    Em 1995 lançava o primeiro CD “Aos Vivos” (Velas), acústico e ao vivo, com participações de Lenine e o lendário Lany Gordin. Em 1996 veio o sucesso nacional e internacional através do segundo álbum, “Cuscuz Clã” (MZA/PolyGram), produzido por Marco Mazzola. No terceiro CD, “Beleza Mano”, mergulhou na cultura negra com participações do zairense Lokua Kanza, coral negro da Família Alcântara, os rappers Thaíde e DJ Hum, Paulo Moura, entre outros. “Mama Mundi”, de 2000, mostra sua qualidade de intérprete num trabalho repleto de canções e referências ao som que se faz, tanto no interior do Brasil como em diversas partes do mundo.

    Em junho de 2002 seu quinto CD, o “Respeitem Meus Cabelos, Brancos” (isso mesmo, com vírgula!), que ele define como um trabalho nômade. Com produção assinada pelo inglês Will Mowat, o álbum começou a ser pré-produzido em Londres, onde registrou participações especialíssimas de Nina Miranda e Chris Franck, integrantes da banda Smoke City (hype na Europa que difunde por lá a New Bossa, versão mais moderna da velha e boa Bossa Nova). De lá, Chico e Mowatt foram a Recife registrar o suingue de Naná Vasconcelos. Foram a Salvador buscando a marcação de Carlinhos Brown. Em João Pessoa, eles registraram o som da Metalúrgica Filipéia e do Quinteto Brassil. Até que, finalmente chegaram a São Paulo, onde o CD foi inteiramente concluído.

    Em novembro de 2005, o sexto CD de sua carreira, ”De uns tempos pra cá”, pela gravadora Biscoito Fino. Com 12 faixas, traz canções autorais compostas por Chico desde a década de 80, num formato camerístico com o Quinteto da Paraíba: dois violinos (Yerko Tabilo e Ronedilk Dantas), uma viola (Samuel Spinoza), um violoncelo (Raiff Dantas) e um baixo acústico (Xisto Medeiros). Um ano depois o DVD, Cantos e Encontros de uns tempos pra cá, gravado durante show no Auditório do Ibirapuera.

    Em 2008 surge “Francisco Forró y Frevo”, um mergulho do artista no espírito das duas principais festas populares nordestinas (o Carnaval e os festejos juninos), para criar um disco alegre em que o foco se encontra na força dos ritmos que animam essas festas: o frevo e o forró. E ainda no diálogo que esses ritmos têm naturalmente com “beats” universais. Por exemplo: o xote com o reggae, o frevo e o arrasta-pé com o ska… No que se refere especificamente ao frevo, uma novidade: a junção da linguagem das orquestras de metais de Pernambuco com a guitarra baiana dos trios elétricos da Salvador dos anos 70, em que a folia estava sob o comando da clássica dupla Dodô e Osmar.

    No ano de 2012, uma celebração: sai o DVD “Aos Vivos Agora”. Com ele, uma nova versão do CD e também o vinil.

    Em 2015 Chico César lança “Estado de Poesia”, seu primeiro disco de inéditas em oito anos.

    “Estado de Poesia” (Natura Musical) é um disco que une a riqueza dos ritmos brasileiros à sonoridade universal. Num mesmo álbum, samba, forró, frevo, toada e reggae se misturam e dão vida ao novo trabalho de Chico César.

    Chico César venceu a 29ª edição do Prêmio da Música Brasileira 2018 na categoria melhor álbum de “Pop/Rock/ Reggae/ Hiphop/ Funk com o disco “Estado de Poesia – Ao Vivo, lançado em DVD + CD, em 2017, pela Deck.

    Já em 2019, chega o novo trabalho, um comentário robusto de suas vivências político-sociais, no convulsionado momento brasileiro dos últimos anos. Todas as 13 faixas de “O Amor É um Ato Revolucionário”, letra e música, são assinadas apenas por Chico César. Gravado entre abril e junho de 2019, nos estúdios Gargolândia (SP), Casa do Mato (RJ), Space Blues (SP) e Etéreo das Recordações de Chita (SP), o álbum tem produção de André Kbelo Sangiacomo e do próprio Chico César, que assina a direção com Helinho Medeiros, pianista de seu grupo. Exceções são as faixas “History” (produzida e arranjada por Márcio Arantes), “Pedrada” (produzida e arranjada por Eduardo Bid) e “Eu Quero Quebrar”, que (além da leitura de Chico e banda) ganhou uma versão bônus produzida por André Abujamra. O disco traz alguns convidados: a adolescente paraibana Agnes Nunes (com quem divide os vocais em “De Peito Aberto”), a jovem cantautora pernambucana Flaira Ferro (em “Cruviana”) e o guitarrista paulistano Luiz Carlini (na música “O Amor é um Ato Revolucionário”, com um longo improviso em que até cita seu mitológico solo na primeira gravação de “Ovelha Negra” com Rita Lee e Tutti Frutti).

YOU RECOMMEND

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.
