Marcel Camargo & Universes in THE MATRIX

Marcel Camargo — by the small-world principle — is within 6 degrees of most humanity. The matrix uses the principle behind this phenomenon to position the world's artists within discoverable reach of each other, and the planet.
THESE CURATED NODES are one degree forward from this Marcel Camargo node. Are these Marcel Camargo's curations?

Life & Work

Bio: Hello! Thanks for checking out my site! My name is Marcel and I make music that has a clear connection with the past. I like to "play with history" in my writing, arranging and producing so that what you hear should sound
both familiar and new to you.

Some of my music leans more toward jazz, some is more Brazilian (I was born and raised in Brazil), other times it gets closer to classical music or it might even be more rock-and-roll. My music almost always has a sense of humor though - to balance out its serious side.

Some of you might know me as a sideman; for the past 10 years or so I’ve toured as a guitarist with Michael Bublé and, more recently, as musical director for Gretchen Parlato’s new group, Flor. I’ve also worked with a number of other artists, some of the more renowned being Herb Alpert, Sérgio Mendes, Bebel Gilberto, Tom Harrell, Arthur Verocai, Macy Gray, Inara George, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, and I’ve played guitar on feature films like Rio 2, Pitch Perfect 3, TV shows like Dexter (on Showtime) and Supernatural (the WB). When I’m not playing guitar I write arrangements and orchestrations and produce for other artists.

THE MATRIX WAS BUILT HERE, 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.

The Brazilian "aleph" doesn't hum... it sings.

Given the immense untapped power of the small-world phenomenon, from Brazilians the matrix was expanded to include nodes per jazz artists, given jazz's common roots with Brazilian music (nodes based in publicly available information; some artists we informed — Bob Mintzer, Kamasi Washington, David "Fuse" Fiuczynski, Vijay Iyer, Greg Osby — and got thumbs up, others we'll get to), and moved on from there. Artists/academics are welcome to create their own nodes and curate (connect to other artist nodes, so that others may follow). BTW, our logo is a cortador de cana, 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 specializes in.
