Karla Vasquez, steps away
Karla Vasquez and most of humanity are within 6 degrees of each other. This matrix combines the small-world principle behind this seemingly magical fact with inter-artist recommendations-in-series in order to make all artists potential curators and discoverable within a handful (or two) of steps from everywhere on the planet. It works like this:
I RECOMMEND people (do you?)Karla Vasquez & degrees of proximity
Why again is Karla Vasquez mere steps away from other artists in here, and by extension, most everybody on the planet?

What's Up?
SalviSoul is a cookbook! But, it's also more than that...
SalviSoul documents the foodways of Salvadoran cuisine and also documents the stories of women who migrated from El Salvador to the United States.
These women are mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and hermanas who have nurtured the second generation of Salvadoran people in the United States with food and who have also, perhaps without realizing, taken the role of preserving culture for the future U.S. born "Salvis". Along with food, the traditions of storytelling have been passed down at the dinner table. Their stories of perseverance, struggle, sacrifice, love and victory have also been our nourishment.

Lessons/Workshops:
Learn Salvadoran recipes, food history and food storytelling with SalviSoul founder, chef, food writer, and recipe developer Karla T. Vasquez!
What you’ll receive:
Attendees will receive a shopping list of the equipment and ingredients as soon as tickets are purchased. On the day of the class students will also receive a Zoom link with the recipe one hour before class to join our virtual classroom. A link to download the class video will be available to students up to 5 days after the class.
How the classes work:
I will be cooking side-by-side with you as we go through each step of the recipe. You want to be relaxed and ready to cook (or watch) when the class starts. Class attendees are encouraged to ask questions often as well as have the opportunity to ask me to troubleshoot any cooking issues that may come up. I want you to feel confident before we move on to the next step! If you would prefer to just sit-in and watch me cook, that is totally fine as well!
All purchases final. Class size is limited to 50 students or households.

ABOUT THE MATRIX
This matrix is dedicated to creative artists and non-algorithmic discovery.
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
While the Brazilian musicians I work with now you may not know, I formerly worked (chasing unpaid royalties!) on behalf of Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Led Zeppelin, Jim Hall, Mongo Santamaria, Gilberto Gil, Astrud Gilberto, Wah Wah Watson (Melvin Ragin), Philip Glass, The Cadillacs (Earl Carroll), The Flamingos (Zeke and Jake Carey), and others, including Oscar-winning world-class great-guy Robb Royer. I was interviewed by David Dye for broadcast on U.S. National Public Radio several years ago ... about the Brazilians:
- Randy "Pardal/Sparrow" Roberts
All is more connected than we know.
w/ David Dye for U.S. National Public Radio
The matrix was inspired in (the kabbalah-inspired fiction of) Borges' 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...
Our logo, per the "spirit" above, 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.
