CV Matrix 25
CV Matrix is a striking, haunting and beautifully performed dance, theatre and music piece that follows a story of a Kreole who left his farm due to the droughts and became a road constructor far away. It expresses deeply a story of emigration that so much affects the islands of Cape Verde, either due to the droughts or a historical precedent from the trade and slavery routes. Using the sounds and rhythms played live on stage of the tradtional island instruments, such as the "pilon", the "colexa", "ferrinho", "buzios", "selafon" and "cavaguinho", CV Matrix is a saga of a whole nation told through music and dance: a story of those who left their homes and those who stayed behind. CV Matrix features 6 performers joined by the singer songwriter of the internationally acclaimed world music group Simentera.
