Ritual chants, introspective sambas, irreverent cocos, dancehall rock, maritime waltzes, protest bois, satirical carimbós, carnival marches, bossas, spiritual points, and other songs from the enchanted traditions, mysteries, forests, rivers, and the very roots of Brazilian music are part of Mateus Moura’s vast repertoire of compositions. An artist who navigates the languages of cinema, theater, poetry, and music, Mateus was born in Rio de Janeiro but has lived in the Pará Amazon since childhood.
