As the Federator of afro-dance music in Boston, the band “Federator N°1” not only plays with many great groups, it ismade up of members of many of the fine afro-centric dance groups in the area. As such, it is very easy for us to pull together concerts or shows with these groups. We are happy to create full events bringing together bands from the Federator Family.

Not only do Matt’s poetically insightful songs strike at the heart of these issues, but his tunes about joyful expressions of love, spirituality and the lessons to be learned from simple stories of every day life all offer a vision for a bright future.
