Explore the Visionary Worlds of OVANA


The Matrix of Visionary Worlds originated in a record shop in the old colonial center of Salvador, Bahia, inspired in (the kabbalah-inspired fiction of) El Aleph, that of the cellar in Buenos Aires (was this a "true" example of an Aleph?), and 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...


You are connected to OVANA. This is neither mysticism nor fiction. Within a labyrinthine six or so degrees you are connected to every trumpet player in New Orleans, to every novelist in Delhi, to every DJ in Jakarta, to everybody below, and all of these to you.


The matrix is constructed upon the principle behind such unexpected proximity (the small-world phenomenon), with the profound difference that within the matrix, connections can be followed. Algorithms and artificial intelligence not required. Humanity yes. The Brazilian Aleph doesn't hum, it sings.

My Life & Work

  • Bio: OVANA são um duo de dois jovens músicos que cantam em Kwanhama, a língua nacional da província do Cunene.

    Tocam instrumentos por si construídos bem como guitarra acústica. O percussionista toca uma espécie de bateria construída numa lata de óleo de automóvel coberta com borracha de câmara de ar e caricas e outros tipos de latas que criam o efeito de pratos de choque.

    O guitarrista e cantor, para além de guitarra toca um instrumento de cordas que construiu com pedaços de chapa e um pedaço de madeira esculpido de um tronco de árvore.

    OVAMA is two young musicians who sing in Kwanhama, the language of Angola's province of Cunene.

    They play instruments they've built for themselves, such as an acoustic guitar. The drummer plays a kind of drum kit constructed from an automobile oil can covered in rubber from an inner tube, adorned with bottle caps etc. which create the sound of cymbals.

    The guitarist is the singer; he also plays a self-constructed instrument built from sheet metal and wood sculpted from a tree trunk.
