Carlos Mateu

Carlos Mateu - Although an artist-painter by trade, Carlos grew up in Cuba in a vibrant musical atmosphere, surrounded by musicians and musicologists. His great grandfather was Obdulio Villa (nick named Pabellón), one of the most famous saxophonists of the 1920's, who played worldwide with Moises Simon's band, composer of the internationally known song "The Peanut Vendor." Carlos learned to dance to traditional Cuban music (Danzón, Son, Cha cha cha, etc.) as a child from his Grandfather and Grandmother, as dance was integral to any and all family and social gatherings. In New York, Carlos has danced with a number of local dance groups, such as "Timba Loca", a Rueda de Casino dance group led by Karim Noak, and served as consultant for Sita Frederick's dance-theatre production "What Do you Dance On?"
