Article on Eduardo Mateo in The Music Exchange

Recently I was asked by the great people at The Music Exchange, the finest record shop in Nottingham, to write an article for a new newspaper/magazine they were putting together to celebrate Record Store Day this year.

After much deliberation I decided the time was right to finally write about Eduardo Mateo, a musical genius from Uruguay who deserves much more praise and who I had always struggled to write about (because I just love his music TOO much).

Well, The Music Exchange have now published their newspaper and it’s available from the shop in Nottingham at the moment and will be available from record shops all over the UK on Record Store Day. It’s a free newspaper so you really have no reason not to pick up a free copy.

Have a listen to Eduardo Mateo below and revel in the man’s greatness:

Cerys Matthews now has a copy of Sounds and Colours Brazil, the book about contemporary Brazilian music and culture that I published and edited last year. On her show, Cerys On 6, she said:

“You need to get [it] if you’re a music lover or going to the football.”

So what more do you need to know? You can get Sounds and Colours Brazil from soundsandcolours.com/02-brazil

If you’d like to hear what Cerys had to say about the book in full you should listen to the show from 02:18:10. The link is bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03zjdbx
