Matuto - Brazilian forró meets American jazz, folk, and bluegrass

2/14/2016 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Location:

Philadelphia, PA 19143

"The joyous, ebullient music of Matuto merges the forró folkloric music of Brazil with the sounds of all-American bluegrass. Violin, accordion and a range of Brazilian percussion give this band a seductively cross-cultural appeal." Chicago Tribune Matuto's core members share a combined obsession with connecting the dots between Brazil, rural America, and creative reinterpretation of long-standing party-hardy forms.
