D*Note

D*Note is a British experimental dance band, founded primarily by musician Matt Winn (aka Matt Wienevski, born 20 September 1965). The band emerged in London in 1993 with their debut album Babel, which reflected an acid jazz background.

Influences

Though part of the acid jazz scene of the early 1990s, D*Note was influenced by twentieth century French and English classical music and modal jazz. Influences from the jazz world include Miles Davis, Bill Evans, and Keith Jarrett. Classical influences include Maurice Ravel, whose polytonalities can be heard in D*Note's use of Lydian modes (what are known in the jazz world as “sharp elevens”). Other classical influences are Debussy, Vaugha Williams, and Aaron Copland. Another key influence, who can be heard on "D*Votion" and "Deep Water" on the second album Criminal Justice, is the American minimalist composer Steve Reich. D*Note contributed the "Phased and Konfused" remix to the Steve Reich composition "Piano Phase", featured on the 1999 Reich Remixed album.

Cafú (footballer, born 1977)

Arlindo Gomes Semedo (born 17 November 1977), known as Cafú, is a Cape Verdean professional footballer who plays for S.C. Freamunde as a forward.

After playing in his country of birth for Belenenses and Boavista, amassing Primeira Liga totals of 153 games and 17 goals over the course of seven seasons, he went on to have a brief spell in Germany with Freiburg.

Already in his 30's Cafú moved to Cyprus, where he remained for five years in representation of several teams. Internationally, he played for Cape Verde.

Football career

Cafú was born in Lisbon, Portugal. During his early career he played for Almada AC, Amora FC, C.F. Os Belenenses – with which he made his Primeira Liga debuts in the 1999–2000 season – and Boavista FC, appearing in six games in the Porto team's quarterfinal run in the UEFA Cup in 2002–03 but starting rarely during his three-and-a-half-year spell with the club.

In January 2006, Cafú moved to Sportfreunde Siegen in Germany's second division, his five league goals not being enough to avoid relegation (as last). He subsequently stayed in the category and joined SC Freiburg, where he would appear sparingly in one-and-a-half-years.

Cafú (footballer, born 1993)

Carlos Miguel Ribeiro Dias (born 26 February 1993), known as Cafú, is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Vitória Guimarães as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Guimarães, Cafú had his first contact with football, in the youth ranks of his hometown club, Vitória Guimarães, which he would represent for two seasons. In 2008, he moved to Benfica, playing his first seasons as a defensive midfielder, then shifting to a striker role.

On 19 September 2012, Cafú made his debut with Benfica B in a 2012–13 Segunda Liga match against CD Tondela where he replaced Cláudio Correa at half-time, scoring the equalizer at 83rd minute.

On 26 July 2013, Cafú signed a four-year contract with Vitória Guimarães, returning to his hometown club after a five-year link to Benfica. At Guimarães he was immediately repositioned as defensive midfielder, being a usual starter in the miidfield of the reserve team, which earned promotion back to the Segunda Liga.

He made his debut in Primeira Liga on 17 August 2014, in a 3-1 win against Gil Vicente, partnering with André André and Bernard Mensah in the midfield, adding 29 appearances throughout the season in the first tier.
