Mateus Vidal was a member of the famous Brazilian samba-reggae group Olodum for almost 30 years. Today, he has settled in Montreal and started a new project, the Axé Experience, named after a style of Afro-Brazilian music born in Salvador de Bahia, where Mateus Vidal hails from. The new Québéco-Brazilian told our contributor Michel Labrecque about his background and his new life in Montreal. He also tells us about his festive concert, presented at Nuits D’Afrique on July 17 at 5pm on the Scène Loto-Québec.
