O Catedrático do Samba
"Catedrático" means professor, and Germano Mathias' education began with the shoeshiners in the public squares of São Paulo, where he learned to play samba on shoe polish can lids, going on to tap it out on frying pans during Carnival.
His influences are Ciro Monteiro (famous for his great ability to play samba on matchboxes), Jorge Veiga, Moreira da Silva, the Batista sisters, Aracy de Almeida, and most markedly Caco Velho (Matheus Nunes), who as a kid was named for an Ary Barroso song and who was also known as the "sambista infernal" due to his complete and masterly domination of samba's complicated cross-rhythms. Germano never abandoned the dress of a true bamba, panama hat, baggy trousers and two-toned shoes.
He was a wicked dancer in his youth (he's still pretty damn good!), and he is the world's foremost exponent of the style of samba called "samba sincopado", very rootsy and syncopated (hence the name) while at the same time often incorporating horns in the style of samba gafieira.
Germano was the first ever to record the music of Geraldo Filme.

Gilberto Gil came in (artistically speaking) with the '60s and over the decades adapted himself to the music which was popular at the time. Germano Mathias came in with the '50s and never abandoned his samba, which, commercially speaking, eventually faded in popularity. It never stopped being great music though!
