Matthieu Keijser - Founder

matt

In October 2006 our dear leader, friend and mentor Matthieu Keijser died. We are still profoundly sad and we all miss him very much. Matthieu was the founder and the heart and soul of Samba Nova and of a great many other parts of the local music community.

We are very lucky to retain in our hearts the playful and adventurous spirit he instilled in us through samba.
