The Matédors will be sharing an evening with the Elsa Nilsson Quartet, which will play their original jazz and arrangements of Swedish folk songs at 7 pm and Matédors will play at 8.15.
Elsa Nilsson Quartet: Elsa Nilsson's music is playful and diversely influenced. She believes the true beauty of music is its capacity to transcend cultural boundaries. She considers all folk music (including jazz) to have a common thread, and that by weaving those threads together, a deeper, more complete understanding among cultures can be reached. This philosophy is evident in her compositional style, subtly blending cross-cultural elements to create a sound that is distinctly her own.
The Matédors are four friends from different parts of the world who enjoy getting together on a weekly basis in Brooklyn to drink Yerbamate, talk about life and play music together. Their personal life backgrounds and cultural influences morph, creating an unique sounding group that blends elements of folk music, jazz and rock n' roll.
