@ 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...

 

It 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..."

 

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: Criador acima/Creator above

This is the Universe of

  • Name: Jussara Silveira
  • City/Place: Salvador, Bahia
  • Country: Brazil

Life & Work

  • Bio: Jussara Silveira estreou como cantora em 1989, no Teatro Castro Alves, maior casa de espetáculos da Bahia. No ano seguinte, já ganhava fôlego para mostrar seu trabalho no grande auditório do Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (MASP). A partir daí, tem cantado nas mais importantes casas de shows de São Paulo, do Rio de Janeiro e muitas outras cidades do Brasil e do exterior.

    Jussara não representa. É o que é: uma apaixonada por canções. Sabe ser vigorosa ou cool. Ter leveza ou densidade. Brincar ou ficar séria. Sua voz tem um timbre todo seu, que se molda expressivamente às mais diversas circunstâncias de letra e música.

    Ela cresceu ouvindo o repertório erudito, na casa da família em Salvador (Bahia). Depois cursou a prestigiada Academia Música Atual. Estudou canto com Adriana Widmer, no Curso Preparatório de Canto da Universidade Federal da Bahia, e canto coral com o maestro Lindembergue Cardoso.

    Mais adiante, viria a estudar técnica vocal com Maria Helena Bezzi, no Rio.

    Vencedora do Prêmio Copene de Cultura e Arte (hoje Prêmio Braskem), na Bahia, Jussara lançou seu primeiro disco solo em 1997 (selo Dubas Música/Universal). Participou de várias coletâneas, como o antológico CD Diplomacia - Tributo a Batatinha (EMI) e Cole Porter e George Gershwin – Canções, Versões, de Carlos Rennó (selo Geléia Geral/Warner)

    Em 1998, lança seu segundo disco, Canções de Caymmi (selo Dubas Música/Universal), eleito um dos melhores do ano pelos críticos do jornal carioca O Globo.

    Em 2000, gravou duas faixas no álbum do guitarrista português António Chainho, Lisboa – Rio; e foi convidada pelo mestre lusitano e por Maria Bethânia para se apresentar com eles no Rio e em São Paulo.

    As participações especiais seguem com a gravação de sete faixas do elogiado CD São Paulo Rio (selo Maianga Discos), do compositor paulista Zé Miguel Wisnik, e, mais tarde, no disco Pérolas aos Poucos (Maianga Discos). Com Zé Miguel, ela tem feito shows regularmente, no Brasil e no exterior, na companhia de artistas como a cantora Ná Ozzetti e do violonista e letrista Arthur Nestrovski.

    (Em 2006, estiveram juntos em Berlim, durante a “Copa da Cultura”.) Jussara também dividiu a Concha Acústica do Teatro Castro Alves em shows ao lado de Nana Caymmi, Maria Bethânia e Alcione.

    O terceiro CD da cantora, Jussara, foi lançado em 2002 (selo Maianga Discos). Nesse disco, ela interpreta um repertório que navega pelo Oceano Atlântico para estabelecer um elo entre sonoridades do Brasil, de Portugal e de Angola – sempre privilegiando a voz.

    Em 2006, Jussara Silveira lança dois discos (pelo selo Maianga): Nobreza, um duo de voz e violão, em parceria com o violonista Luiz Brasil; e Entre o Amor e o Mar, projeto premiado no programa Petrobras Cultural e que inclui canções de compositores consagrados, lado a lado com novos nomes da música brasileira.

    Produzido por Luiz Brasil, o CD tem a participação de nomes como o violonista Arthur Nestrovski, o pianista Leandro Braga e o contrabaixista Jorge Helder, entre outros artistas de ponta da nossa música instrumental.

    Também neste ano, teve participação no disco Ode Descontínua e Remota Para Flauta e Oboé - De Ariana para Dionísio, uma seleção de poemas de Hilda Hilst, musicados por Zeca Baleiro.

    Em 2008, juntas, Rita Ribeiro, Teresa Cristina e Jussara Silveira formam as Três Meninas do Brasil, uma viagem pela diversidade da música feita nos quatro cantos do país, com direção musical de Jaime Alem, maestro de Maria Bethânia há quase duas décadas. O espetáculo registrado no dia 24 de agosto de 2008, no Teatro Municipal de Niterói, foi lançado em CD e DVD, pela Quitanda, selo de Maria Bethânia.

    Ainda em 2008, ao lado de Arthur Nestrovski (violão) e André Mehmari (piano), Jussara Silveira fez o espetáculo “Viagem de Verão: Canções e Versões, de Schubert a Caymmi” em temporada no teatro São Pedro em 2009 e na Virada Cultural de São Paulo.

    Em 2011, Jussara Silveira gravou ao lado de Rita Ribeiro e Ná Ozzetti uma canção para o espetáculo "Sem Mim", do Grupo Corpo. A trilha sonora é assinada pelo músico e compositor galego Carlos Núñez em parceria com Zé Miguel Wisnik a partir das canções de Martín Codax, autor do único conjunto de peças do cancioneiro profano medieval galego-portugês.

    Em outubro de 2011, Jussara Silveira acaba de lançar seu 6º disco de carreira: "Ame ou se Mande", produzido por Marcelo Costa e Sacha Amback. "Ame ou se Mande" foi lançado pela Joia Moderna, tem direção artística do Dj Zé Pedro.

    No início de 2012, Jussara Silveira, Marcelo Costa e Sacha Amback repetem o êxito do formato para lançar "Flor Bailarina- canções de Angola". Em julho de 2012, a DUBAS relança o CD "Ame ou se mande".

    Sem fazer concessões ao mainstream, Jussara Silveira segue cantando o que acredita e gosta. Expondo sua verdade sem disfarces, acabou transformando-se em uma artista cultuada, com público garantido onde quer que se apresente. “Uma voz carregada de sentidos, que vão se desnudando aos poucos”, escreveu Arnaldo Antunes. O contrário também vale: são sentidos carregados de voz, que ela traduz e transforma em mil e uma canções.

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.
