About |
Celebrating the release of Nome De Guerra, his new solo guitar album, André Matos presents a unique performance of solo guitar music over a set of images by photo-journalist José Sarmento Matos.
The second volume of André Matos solo guitar series, Nome De Guerra (war name), is in part an homage to Portuguese writer and artist Almada Negreiros´ novel with the same title. Matos explores the idea of a personal innermost (“íntimo pessoal”), that Almada talks about: something of our very own, sacred, unattainable by others, and that blossoms into our own individuality and personality.

(…)where Múquina was the contemplation of approaching storm clouds, Nome De Guerra is a journey into the lives of individual raindrops as they fall to earth (…) Best Bandcamp Jazz 2018
