Bio:
Guinga (Carlos Althier de Sousa Lemos Escobar) is a Brazilian guitarist and composer living in Rio de Janeiro. His first recording was as accompanist to Cartola.
Though having subsequently accompanied many of Brazil's greatest artists, Guinga is known primarily as a composer, deeply original, wide-ranging, and considered by many as Brazil's paramount composer of present days.
Hermeto Pascoal said of him (as quoted by Daniela Thompson) "He's somebody who only appears once every hundred years."

► The matrix originated as an extension of a record shop opened to divulge the little known music of the people of the Recôncavo and sertão of Bahia, Brazil (per this interview with David Dye for U.S. National Public Radio and hence a sugarcane cutter as our logo), along with other great Brazilian music.
► But in order to best provide pathways from around the world to these little-known (with one exception) but masterfully powerful artists, the matrix has to do likewise for all artists everywhere.
