In 2002, guitarist and singer Clay Ross moved from South Carolina to New York in pursuit of the jazz muse. Several years later he found himself in Recife, studying the regions folkloric music, bringing him by a circuitous route to reappraise the folk and blues traditions of his native south and conceive the idea of marrying them to the Northeastern Brazilian rhythms of maracatu, forró, and coco. Back in New York he called on accordionist Rob Curto, master exponent of forró, and they set out to combine their repertoires into an extensive library of Pan-American influences and form a band. With a crack coterie of renowned musicians sharing a love of roots music, Brazilian styles, and improvisational experimentation, Matuto deliver an inspirational live experience direct from the heart of New York City's global culture.
