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.

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.

 

@ 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...

CURATION

  • from this node by: Sparrow/Pardal

This is the Universe of

  • Name: Spok Frevo Orquestra
  • City/Place: Recife, Pernambuco
  • Country: Brazil

Life & Work

  • Bio: Inaldo Cavalcante de Albuquerque, o Spok, é considerado o caçula entre os principais maestros do frevo pernambucano. Natural de Igarassú, começou na música aos 13 anos, por influência do primo, o saxofonista Gilberto Pontes, co-diretor musical e também fundador da Orquestra.

    Mudou-se para o Recife nos anos 80, onde passou a estudar no CPCMR (Centro de Criatividade Musical do Recife) e pôde trabalhar com os mestres do gênero, como José Menezes, Guedes Peixoto, Nunes, Clóvis Pereira, Duda, Edson Rodrigues, Ademir Araújo.

    Nos anos 90, em meio à ebulição musical que ocorreu na cidade, Spok enxergou outros horizontes. “Eu via aqueles músicos improvisando e me perguntava por que não se poderia fazer o mesmo com o frevo, que eu tocava tão tradicionalmente, seguindo a partitura, enquanto aqueles músicos faziam jazz”. Mas ele explica aquilo que busca no jazz: “O que me interessa é a liberdade do músico. A Orquestra, na verdade, faz o frevo cru, como ele é. São 17 pernambucanos no palco, que nasceram ouvindo esta música e que não têm como não executá-la com propriedade. A diferença está nos arranjos, que são feitos com o propósito do improviso, para que o músico possa colocar seu coração ali.”

    É, e há mais de dez anos, instrumentista, arranjador e diretor musical da SpokFrevo Orquestra, e fez como músico convidado participações especiais nas bandas de grandes artistas brasileiros como Fagner, Elba Ramalho, Alceu Valença e Antônio Nóbrega.

    Na história do grupo, o ano de 2003 marca uma virada. Das experiências sob o nome Banda Pernambucana e Orquestra de Frevo do Recife, surge a SpokFrevo Orquestra. A estréia em disco veio em 2004, com Passo de Anjo, lançado de maneira independente. No repertório, clássicos do gênero e composições recentes mostram que o frevo é fonte inesgotável. De Levino Ferreira, considerado o maior compositor de frevos-de-rua, a Orquestra toca Lágrima de Folião, e Mexe com Tudo, esta gravada por Pixinguinha nos anos 40. De Sivuca, expressão da música brasileira e universal, Frevo Sanfonado prova que o frevo sempre esteve no repertório dos sanfoneiros. Entre os mestres do gênero, a Orquestra interpreta Clóvis Pereira (Ponta de Lança), Maestro Duda (Nino, o pernambuquinho), e Édson Rodrigues (Frevo Aberto). De safra mais recente, Passo de Anjo – do próprio Spok, em parceria com João Lyra – virou a assinatura sonora do grupo.

    O CD Passo de Anjo transformou-se no cartão de visitas da SpokFrevo Orquestra, sendo escolhido pelo jornal O Estado de São Paulo como um dos três melhores lançamentos de 2004. O disco mereceu relançamento em 2006, desta vez pelo selo Biscoito Fino, que no ano seguinte também lançou o DVD e o CD Passo de Anjo – Ao Vivo, gravados no Teatro de Santa Isabel, no Recife, com pequenas mudanças no repertório e as participações especiais de Armandinho (guitarra baiana), Genaro (sanfona, ex-Trio Nordestino) e Leo Gandelman (saxofone alto).
