@ 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.

  • Name: Fábio Luna
  • City/Place: Rio de Janeiro
  • Country: Brazil

Life & Work

  • Bio: Nascido em Olaria, Rio de janeiro, em setembro de 1974, Fábio teve uma formação eclética na música. Aos seis anos de idade começou a estudar violão com seu irmão, e logo em seguida veio a flauta transversa, bateria e percussão. Estudou licenciatura em música na UNI-RIO onde participou da Orquestra de Musica Brasileira da universidade.

    Em 1997 foi convidado pelo sanfoneiro Sivuca a integrar sua banda, tocando percussão e bateria. Se apresentou por todo o Brasil e em alguns festivais no exterior. Durante 9 anos na banda de Sivuca, também atuou ao lado de Hermeto Pascoal, Dominguinhos, Oswaldinho do Acordeom e Borguetinho.

    Fábio lançou três trabalhos instrumentais. O primeiro em 2003 entitulado “MACUNGUÊ-ARÁ”, totalmente autoral. Fabio contou com as participações de Sivuca, Robertinho do Recife, Alberto Continentino, Itamar Assiére, entre outros neste cd. O segundo lançou ao lado de Marcelo Caldi, com composições dos dois, e alguns clássicos da nossa música. Foi o cd “Forró e choro Vol.I”, que concorreu ao lado de Hamilton de Holanda e Spok Frevo Orquestra ao Prêmio da Música Brasileira como melhor cd Instrumental de 2009. Já em 2014 lançou o EP "Macunguê 2", com 5 músicas instrumentais de sua autoria, que haviam estado em trilhas de espetáculos de dança e nas telas do cinema.

    Esteve durante esses 25 anos de carreira, tanto no palco como em estúdio, ao lado de músicos como Hamilton de Holanda, Dominguinhos, Marcos Valle, Leny Andrade, Roberto Menescal, Simone e Elza Soares. Participou do grupo Forró Paratodos, quando acompanhou também Elba Ramalho, Alceu Valença, Moraes Moreira e Geraldo Azevedo. A cantora e compositora Zélia Duncan, com quem Fábio se apresentou durante 3 anos, teve uma música de seu cd "Pré, Pós, Tudo, Bossa Band" arranjada pelo músico, que ainda tocou flauta e percussão nas gravações do cd, e participou da gravação do DVD.

    Em 2009 Fábio esteve, a convite do Comitê Olímpico Brasileiro, em Copenhagen, Dinamarca, ao lado da banda Caraivana, com quem acabara de lançar o cd Caraivana, para representar a música brasileira na escolha da cidade do Rio de Janeiro como sede das olimpíadas de 2016. Em 2011 Lançou também com o Caraivana o cd “Ser feliz”, totalmente autoral, e em 2016 um EP também autoral.

    Em 2009 lança o cd Fábio Luna como autor de letras e músicas. Contou com a participação de mestres do samba como Paulão 7 Cordas, Marcos Esguleba e ainda Eduardo Neves na direção musical. O produtor musical Daniel Vangarde completou o time. Gravado ao vivo no estúdio Cia dos Técnicos no Rio de Janeiro, Fabio registrou 10 sambas de sua autoria. Arrancou elogios de grandes nomes do nosso Samba como Leci Brandão que divulgou em seu Twitter: “... Fabio Luna, um cantor excelente e letrista fantástico. Emocionante. Há tempos um jovem não cantava samba de uma maneira tão linda...”.

    Participou também do DVD “Samba Social Clube IV”, cantando Eu hein Rosa, na roda de samba em homenagem a Paulo César Pinheiro, ao lado de Moacyr Luz, Teresa Cristina, Diogo Nogueira, Nilze Carvalho, Casuarina, entre outros .

    Em 2010 foi convidado para integrar o quarteto vocal e instrumental Os Cariocas , tocando bateria, flauta e fazendo a segunda voz, se apresentando pelo Brasil e no exterior. Em 2014, o grupo foi finalista do Premio da Musica Brasileira como melhor grupo de MPB com o cd "Estamos Aí", produzido no estúdio de Fabio, o "NaLua". Em março de 2016, após o Falecimento do Maestro Severino Filho, o grupo foi impedido pela família de continuar a usar o nome "Os Cariocas" e passou a chamar-se "Quarteto do Rio". Já com o novo nome, o quarteto vem se destacando no cenário da música vocal. Tem gravado vários vídeos em seu canal no youtube, com participações especiais como Marcos Valle, Yamandu Costa, Roberto Menescal, João Bosco, Fabio Brazza, entre outros. Em 2017 lançou seu primeiro cd na atual formação, Quarteto do Rio e Roberto Menescal: Mr. Bossa Nova, todo com a participação de Roberto Menescal, com grandes sucessos do compositor e algumas inéditas, produzido também no estúdio NaLua de Fabio Luna. Mr. Bossa Nova também foi Finalista do Prêmio da Música Brasileira, na edição de 2018.

    Em 2013 lançou seu cd de canções "Presente, futuro e passado", onde assinou a produção, arranjos e composições, ao lado de alguns ilustres parceiros como Délcio Carvalho e Elói Vicente.

    Em 2015 idealiza e faz a direção musical, além de tocar e cantar, do espetáculo "Gonzaguinha tudo outra vez", apresentado pelo Brasil em teatros da Caixa Cultural, em homenagem aos 70 anos do compositor Gonzaguinha.

    ​Em 2019, em comemoração aos 10 anos do Caraivana, o grupo lança o cd "Do outro lado de cá", com 6 músicas inéditas e 6 músicas consagradas que o Caraivana vem tocando em todos os seus shows, produzido por Fábio Luna.

    Atualmente, Fábio tem feito shows pelo Brasil e pelo exterior com o Quarteto do Rio e o Caraivana, além de shows como multi-instrumentista, cantor e compositor.

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.
