Imagine the sound of a Brazilian Carnival in the Appalachian Mountains, with exotic percussion laying the foundation for blues-drenched vocals, telecaster twangs, accordion acrobatics, and folksy fiddle tunes. Now, imagine these sounds in the hands of some of New York City’s finest young improvisers as they light up club and festival stages worldwide. Matuto embraces modern techniques and global influences to create a unique and inspired sound that Jazz Times Magazine calls “weird and wonderful… unorthodox and delightful.”
