From Choros and Sambas to Milongas, Baiões, Candombes, and Chacareras, Matear Duo explores the rich rhythmic traditions of South America—especially the intricate interplay of 2 against 3. Blending Brazilian, Argentinian, and Uruguayan sounds with a touch of jazz, their music is both heartfelt and intimate. The word matear refers to the shared ritual of drinking mate—a moment of connection and storytelling. This spirit is at the core of their performance.
