Matuto March 16, 2011

Imagine the sound of a Brazilian Carnaval in the Appalachian Mountains: a sound where exotic percussion instruments rumble beneath blues drenched vocals, telecaster twangs, accordion acrobatics, and folksy fiddle tunes. Now, imagine these sounds in the hands of some of NYC's finest young improvisers. Through the unorthodox blend of Brazilian percussion and American bluegrass, Matuto has created an organic, animated sound all its own.
