I. IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS BRAZIL: "The time has come for these bronzed people to show their worth..." (Assis Valente)

II. AND THE MISSION (THE OPEN WORLD)

III. AND THE MIT ECONOMIST BEHIND THE CREATION OF THE BRAZIL-BORN Integrated Global Creative Economy

The Matrix uncoils from the Recôncavo of Bahia, final port-of-call for more enslaved human beings than any other such throughout all of human history and from where some of the most physically and spiritually uplifting music ever made evolved...

...all essentially cut off from the world at large. But after 40,000 years of artistic creation by mankind, it's finally now possible to create bridges closely interconnecting all artists everywhere (having begun with the Saturno brothers above).

Marcos Portinari Produtor Multimídea, Multimedia Producer

Curate anybody in here. You appear on their page. Anybody in here curates you, they appear on your page...

Alicia Hall Moran Opera

...plugged into a superpower: the small world phenomenon.

Dan Auerbach Record Producer

By the same mathematics positioning some 8 billion human beings within some 6 or so steps of each other, people in the Matrix tend to within close, accessible steps of everybody else inside the Matrix.

Marcelo Caldi Choro

And by extension, to within discoverable reach of everybody everywhere on the planet.

Ronaldo Bastos Rio de Janeiro

Small world curation is the Matrix's unprecedented innovation.

Oded Lev-Ari New York City

Because 40,000 years is a long time to wait.

Milton Primo Chula

And if all art is discoverable from everywhere, then Brazil's is too.

Jessie Reyez Singer-Songwriter

BUT WHY BRAZIL???

David Bruce Opera

"The time has come for these bronzed people to show their worth..."

(Music by Assis Valente. Clip by Betão Aguiar. The Matrix was built in Salvador's Centro Histórico above, incorporating these marvelous people.)

Paulo Paulelli Brazil

Brazil is not a European nation. It's not a North American nation. It's not an East Asian nation. It straddles — jungle and desert and dense urban centers — both the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn.

Eamonn Flynn Funk

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.

Will Holshouser Composer

Brazil 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 — the hand drum in the opening scene above — was almost certainly brought to Brazil by these people).

Mateus Asato Los Angeles

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.

Kimmo Pohjonen Composer

Three cultures — from three continents — running for their lives, their confluence forming an unprecedented fourth. Pandeirista on the roof.

Muhsinah Hip-Hop

Nowhere else but here. Brazil itself is a matrix.

'mātriks / "source" / from "mater", Latin for "mother"
A real mother for ya!
