Current News

  • What's Up? “Thana isn’t afraid to take risks. Her vocal performances are powerful, vulnerable, joyful, spiritual and genuine. Her use of rhythm, textures and intricate harmonies is unique and at times, complex. Sometimes you think you know where she is going, then she SURPRISES you.”

    — Regina Carter / violinist, recipient of the MacArthur “Genius” and Doris Duke Awards

    “Thana Alexa’s ONA is an exquisite work embodying boundless creativity and genre that stretches to every corner of the Earth, and the imagination. ONA is a story of strength, authenticity, and the deeply grounding nature of the divine feminine”

    — Becca Stevens / Grammy nominated Singer and composer

    “...a jazz singer with a global perspective...”

    — The New York Times

Life & Work

  • Bio: Alexa’s family history reads like an international novel cast with spies, military colonels, politicians, lawyers and
    philanthropic foundations, all set in a topflight European jazz club. Alexa was born in New York City to an American-Croatian mother and Croatian-born father. Both of her parent's families fled communism in what was then Yugoslavia and emigrated to the U.S. after WWII.

    Her maternal grandfather, Marquis Frano de Bona – descendant of one of the oldest noble families in Dubrovnik – was a Lt. Commander in the Royal Yugoslav Navy and later became a double agent working for British Intelligence. He was awarded the Order of the British Empire by King George III for his contribution to the success of the D-Day invasion, the highest honor a foreigner can receive in Britain. Ian Fleming, who was her grandfather’s control for British Intelligence created the character of James Bond based on the personalities of her grandfather and his two partners. One of her paternal great- grandfathers was a civil engineer and a Colonel in the Royal Yugoslav Army Special Forces and the other was a prominent politician, head of the Croatian Peasant Party, who was instrumental in the unification of Croats, Serbs and Slovenes into the formation of Yugoslavia in 1918, confirming the success of liberation from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Her paternal grandfather was a professor of medicine at NYU Medical School and plastic surgeon in private practice in New York City who also happened to play classical violin – the violin on which Alexa plays to this day. Her paternal grandmother, who has entered the 100th year of her life, survived the Second World War and experienced the founding of Croatia.

    From a young age, she showed an entrepreneurial spirit, starting as an haute couture designer in Zagreb and then in New York, where she ran a large company. Both of her parents were educated in the U.S. and enjoyed successful careers, her father as a Harvard educated lawyer with his own Manhattan law firm, and her mother, as the most positioned woman in American banking of her time and later, president of a private foundation which gives grants in the arts.

    Alexa was musical from a very early age. She began playing violin at the age of 4 and by 12 was first chair in the
    Stamford Youth Symphony. She had ambitions to become a classical violinist. At 13, she moved with her family
    to Croatia and was challenged by learning a new language and by the cultural change of living in Europe. It was in
    Croatia that she discovered her voice, taking lessons with a voice teacher who introduced her to the music of jazz,
    blues and soul. At 16, she was discovered by world class jazz vibraphonist Bosko Petrovic, who is credited with
    bringing jazz to Croatia and who was her mentor until she returned to the U.S. for college.

    Alexa graduated from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and Eugene Lang College with dual
    bachelor’s degrees in jazz and contemporary music and psychology, respectively. During her time at the New
    School she was mentored by legendary drummer Bernard “Pretty” Purdie, who encouraged her to start composing
    and arranging for his ensemble. Alexa also became one of the first vocalists to involve herself in the New School's
    instrumental ensembles, quickly making a name for herself as an instrumental vocalist willing to explore the full
    range of the human voice. Professors Billy Harper, Jane Ira Bloom, Reggie Workman, Kate Baker and Richard
    Harper all supported her on her mission as she began to experience her voice and music from the standpoint of an
    instrumentalist rather than a one-dimensional singer, which informed the compositions for her first album. That was
    the first surprise in what would be many surprises to come.

    "As musicians, we have an incredible ability to reach people through art." Alexa said. "If you're making art it has
    to say something. Every turning point in the history of the world has involved art and artists connected to the
    movements of change. I want to be part of that."

Pathways from Brazil

THROUGH THE INTEGRATED GLOBAL CREATIVE ECONOMY

(humanity has never had this before)

"I am thrilled to receive your email! Thank you for including me in this wonderful matrix."
✅—Susan Rogers
Personal recording engineer: Prince, Paisley Park
Director: Music Perception & Cognition Laboratory, Berklee College of Music
Author: This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You

 

The matrix was created in Salvador's Centro Histórico, where Bule Bule below, among magisterial colleagues for whom this matrix was originally built, sings "Chegou a hora dessa gente bronzeada mostrar seu valor... The time has come for these bronzed people to show their worth..."

Because in common with most cultures around our planet, the preponderance of Brazil's vast cultural treasure has been impossible to find from outside of circumscribed regions, including Brazil itself...

Music & lyrics (Brasil Pandeiro) by Assis Valente of Santo Amaro, Bahia, Brazil. Video by Betão Aguiar of Salvador.

Thus something new under the tropical sun: A means by which those above, those below, and EVERYBODY ELSE in the creative economy can be divulged EVERYWHERE.

Quincy Jones can curate Gilberto Gil, for example. And Gil can curate, writers, dancers, filmmakers, painters, record producers, set designers...and Luê Soares behind the mic above. You get to Quincy, you can get to Luê.

And by the mathematics of the small world phenomenon, everybody in the matrix will tend to proximity to everybody else, in the same way that most human beings are within some six or so steps of most others.

The difference being that in the matrix, these steps are along pathways that can be travelled. The creative world becomes a neighborhood. Quincy Jones is right up the street and Branford Marsalis around the corner. And the most far-flung genius you've never heard of is just a few doors down. Maybe even in Brazil. Laroyê!
"Matrixado!"

✅—Founding Member Darius Mans
Economist, PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
✅—Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
President of Brazil


The matrix is the ultimate evolution of a pathway which began in New York City decades ago per the "rescue" of unpaid royalties for Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Mongo Santamaria, Gilberto Gil, Astrud Gilberto, Airto Moreira, Jim Hall, Led Zeppelin, Philip Glass, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd of Kingston's Studio One (Bob Marley's producer), and others. A long and winding road that led to necessity of a truly open arts universe, for there is more in Heaven and Earth...

"Many thanks for this - I am  touched!"
✅—Julian Lloyd Webber

That most fabled cellist in the United Kingdom (and Brazilian music fan)

"I'm truly thankful... Sohlangana ngokuzayo :)"
✅—Nduduzo Makhathini
Blue Note recording artist)

"Thanks, this is a brilliant idea!!"
✅—Alicia Svigals
Founder of The Klezmatics

"This is super impressive work ! Congratulations ! Thanks for including me :)))"
✅—Clarice Assad
Compositions recorded by Yo Yo Ma and played by orchestras around the world

"Thank you"
(Banch Abegaze, manager)
✅—Kamasi Washington

Tap people, tap categories, tap curations... The matrix is a maze of tunnels within King Solomon's creative mines.

Caminhos do Brasil

ATRAVÉS DA ECONOMIA CRIATIVA GLOBAL INTEGRADA

(a humanidade nunca teve isso antes)

"Fico muitíssimo feliz em receber seu e-mail! Obrigada por me incluir neste matrix maravilhoso."
✅—Susan Rogers
Engenheiro de gravação pessoal para Prince: Paisley Park
Diretora: Laboratório de Percepção e Cognição Musical, Berklee College of Music
Autora: This Is What It Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You

 

O matrix foi criado no Centro Histórico de Salvador, onde Bule Bule abaixo, entre colegas magisteriais para quem este matrix foi originalmente construído, canta "Chegou a hora dessa gente bronzeada mostrar seu valor..."

Pois em comum com a maioria das culturas ao redor do nosso planeta, a preponderância do vasto tesouro cultural do Brasil tem sido impossível de encontrar de fora de regiões circunscritas, incluido o próprio Brasil...

Música & letras (Brasil Pandeiro) por Assis Valente de Santo Amaro, Bahia. Vídeo por Betão Aguiar de Salvador.

Assim algo novo sob o sol tropical: Um meio pelo qual os acima, os abaixo e TODOS OS OUTROS na economia criativa podem ser divulgados em TODOS OS LUGARES.

Quincy Jones pode indicar Gilberto Gil, por exemplo. Gil pode indicar escritores, dançarinos, cineastas, pintores, produtores de discos...e Luê Soares atrás do microfone acima. Você chega em Quincy, pode chegar em Luê.

E pela matemática do fenômeno de mundo pequeno, todos no matrix tenderão a se aproximar de todos, da mesma forma que a maioria dos seres humanos estão dentro de cerca de seis passos da maioria dos outros.

Com a diferença que no matrix, estes passos estão ao longo de caminhos que podem ser percorridos. O mundo criativo se torna uma vizinhança. Quincy Jones está lá em cima e Branford Marsalis está ao virar da esquina. E o gênio distante que você nunca ouviu falar tá lá embaixo. Talvez até no Brasil. Laroyê!
"Matrixado!"

✅—Membro Fundador Darius Mans
Economista, doutorado, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
✅—Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
Presidente do Brasil


O matrix é a evolução definitiva de um caminho que começou em Nova York há décadas atrás pelo "resgate" dos direitos autorais não pagos para Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Mongo Santamaria, Gilberto Gil, Astrud Gilberto, Airto Moreira, Jim Hall, Led Zeppelin, Philip Glass, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd do Studio One de Kingston (o produtor de Bob Marley), e outros. Um longo e sinuoso caminho que levou à necessidade de um universo de artes verdadeiramente abertom pois há mais no Céu e na Terra...

"Muito obrigado por isso - estou tocado!"
✅—Julian Lloyd Webber
Estamos tocados também Sr. Webber!
Merecidamente o violoncelista mais lendário do Reino Unido (e fã da música brasileira)

"Estou realmente agradecido... Sohlangana ngokuzayo :)"
✅—Nduduzo Makhathini
Artista da Blue Note)

"Obrigada, esta é uma ideia brilhante!!"
✅—Alicia Svigals
Fundadora do The Klezmatics

"Este é um trabalho super impressionante! Parabéns! Obrigada por me incluir :)))"
✅—Clarice Assad
Composições gravadas por Yo Yo Ma e tocadas por orquestras ao redor do mundo

"Thank you"
(Banch Abegaze, empresário)
✅—Kamasi Washington

Toque em pessoas, toque em categorias, toque em curadoria... O matrix é um labirinto de túneis dentro das minas criativas do Rei Salomão.
