Bio:
Fernando Guerreiro é um renomado diretor teatral, gestor cultural e radialista. Reconhecido por sua contribuição significativa para a revitalização e popularização do teatro baiano em nível nacional, ele também se destaca como um talentoso descobridor de artistas, tendo lançado muitos nomes proeminentes na cena teatral, televisiva e cinematográfica. Com uma carreira que abrange mais de 40 anos, Guerreiro dirigiu mais de 60 espetáculos, incluindo produções aclamadas como "A Bofetada", "Vixe Maria! Deus e o Diabo na Bahia", "Os Cafajestes" e "De Um Tudo".
Em 2018, Guerreiro surpreendeu ao estrear como ator no espetáculo autoral "Revele", uma peça que combina elementos de stand-up comedy, talk show e conversa descontraída, explorando sua jornada profissional e pessoal. Por 15 anos, ele foi uma figura proeminente como apresentador do programa de rádio diário "Roda Baiana" na Rádio Metrópole, dedicado à cultura e comportamento. A partir de março de 2022, ele assumiu um novo desafio na mesma estação, liderando o programa de humor e informação "Revele". Demonstrando sua versatilidade, Guerreiro também se tornou um colunista semanal no jornal "Correio", com sua seção "Fala, Guerreiro!", onde aborda de maneira bem-humorada questões cotidianas.
Desde 2013, Guerreiro atua como presidente da Fundação Gregório de Mattos, o órgão de cultura da Prefeitura de Salvador. Durante sua gestão, ele implementou políticas culturais mais abrangentes, descentralizadas e democráticas para o município. Isso incluiu o lançamento do Programa de Fomento, que oferece editais e prêmios para promover a diversidade cultural, desde projetos na economia criativa até iniciativas de agentes culturais comunitários. Outros marcos de sua gestão incluem a revitalização do programa de incentivo fiscal Viva Cultura, o estabelecimento do Selo João Ubaldo Ribeiro e a criação da Salvador Filmes, refletindo uma abordagem abrangente da cadeia produtiva da cultura.
Guerreiro também se dedicou à institucionalização cultural em Salvador, liderando a elaboração do Sistema Municipal de Cultura e promovendo legislação específica de patrimônio para proteger bens materiais e imateriais por meio de processos de tombamento e registro. Além disso, ele inaugurou e reabriu espaços culturais descentralizados em vários bairros da cidade, incluindo a revitalização dos Espaços Boca de Brasa.

Fernando Guerreiro is a theater director, cultural manager, and radio host. One of the main figures responsible for popularizing and revitalizing theater in Bahia, Brazil, he is also known for discovering talents in the theatrical scene, television, and cinema. Over his 40-year career, he has directed more than 60 productions, notable among them being "A Bofetada," "Vixe Maria! God and the Devil in Bahia," "Os Cafajestes," and "De Um Tudo."
In 2018, he made his debut as an actor in the original play "Revele," which blends stand-up comedy, talk show, and conversation, reflecting his professional and personal journey. For 15 years, he was one of the presenters of the radio program "Roda Baiana," a daily magazine covering culture and behavior, on Rádio Metrópole. Since March 2022, he has taken on a new challenge on the same radio station, hosting the humorous and informative program "Revele." He expanded his scope of work and became a weekly columnist for Correio with "Fala, Guerreiro!," where he humorously discusses everyday subjects.
Since 2013, he has served as the president of the Gregório de Mattos Foundation, the cultural agency of the Salvador City Hall. At the institution, he has been responsible for developing a broader, decentralized, and more democratic cultural policy for the municipality. He implemented the Fomento Program, which includes calls for proposals and awards promoting cultural diversity, ranging from structuring projects in the creative economy to initiatives by community cultural agents.
The revival of the tax incentive program Viva Cultura, the launch of the João Ubaldo Ribeiro Seal, and the creation of Salvador Filmes are hallmarks of his administration, representing a policy focused on various dimensions of the cultural production chain. He invested in cultural institutionalization in the municipality by developing the Municipal Culture System and creating specific heritage legislation, ensuring the safeguarding of tangible and intangible assets through various processes of designation and registration. Additionally, he inaugurated and reopened decentralized cultural spaces in various areas of the city, such as the refurbishment and restructuring of the Boca de Brasa Spaces.

Millions of short-path connections unite creators worldwide by means of the extraordinary mathematics of:
The Small World Phenomenon
—The Integrated Global Creative Economy
Take an artist... from Salvador, Havana, Brooklyn, Cape Town...
Writer, musician, filmmaker, painter, choreographer, architect, academic, fashion designer, chef...
Integrate this artist into a network of other artists around the world.
Our artist tends to within close proximity of all others in the network, in the identical manner in which most human beings are within some six degrees of most others.
The creative universe becomes a creative village in which all have access to all.
Inspired in the sensorial immanence of Borges' transfinites-inspired Alephs.

Conceived under a Spiritus Mundi ranging from the quilombos and senzalas of Cachoeira and Santo Amaro to Havana and the provinces of Cuba to the wards of New Orleans to the South Side of Chicago to the sidewalks of Harlem to the townships of South Africa to the villages of Ireland to the Roma camps of France and Belgium to the Vienna of Beethoven to the shtetls of Eastern Europe...*
Sodré
*...in conversation with Raymundo Sodré, who summed up the irony in this sequence by opining for the ages: "Where there's misery, there's music!" Thus A Massa, anthem for the trod-upon folk of Brazil, which blasted from every radio between the Amazon and Brazil's industrial south until Sodré was silenced, threatened with death and forced into exile...
And thus a platform whereupon all creators tend to accessible proximity to all other creators, irrespective of degree of fame, location, or the censor.
Matrix Ground Zero is the Recôncavo, bewitching and bewitched, contouring the resplendent Bay of All Saints (end of clip below, before credits), absolute center of terrestrial gravity for the disembarkation of enslaved human beings (and for the sublimity these people created), the bay presided over by Brazil's ineffable Black Rome (seat of the Integrated Global Creative Economy* and where Bule Bule is seated below, around the corner from where we built this matrix as an extension of our record shop).

I'm Pardal here in Brazil (that's "Sparrow" in English). The deep roots of this project are in Manhattan, where Allen Klein (managed the Beatles and The Rolling Stones) called me about royalties for the estate of Sam Cooke... where Jerry Ragovoy (co-wrote Time is On My Side, sung by the Stones; Piece of My Heart, Janis Joplin of course; and Pata Pata, sung by the great Miriam Makeba) called me looking for unpaid royalties... where I did contract and licensing for Carlinhos Brown's participation on Bahia Black with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock...
...where I rescued unpaid royalties for Aretha Franklin (from Atlantic Records), Barbra Streisand (from CBS Records), Led Zeppelin, Mongo Santamaria, Gilberto Gil, Astrud Gilberto, Airto Moreira, Jim Hall, Wah Wah Watson (Melvin Ragin), Ray Barretto, Philip Glass, Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd for his interest in Bob Marley compositions, Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam and others...
...where I worked with Earl "Speedo" Carroll of the Cadillacs (who went from doo-wopping as a kid on Harlem streetcorners to top of the charts to working as a janitor at P.S. 87 in Manhattan without ever losing what it was that made him special in the first place), and with Jake and Zeke Carey of The Flamingos (I Only Have Eyes for You)... stuff like that.
Yeah this is Bob's first record contract, made with Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd of Studio One and co-signed by his aunt because he was under 21. I took it to Black Rock to argue with CBS' lawyers about the royalties they didn't want to pay (they paid).
