It was their first ever show as <strong>Matuto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA defining moment,\u201d Ross recalls, thinking back to that fateful show in 2009 when he had received a Fullbright grant to perform in Brazil, and had invited the Portuguese-speaking, <em>forr\u00f3<\/em> expert Curto to join the project. They had played together in various configurations around Brooklyn\u2019s wildly cross-cultural music scene, but had never worked together so closely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere, on that massive stage, during the apex of Carnaval, through our jazz-influenced originals and bluegrass barnburners our \u2018little project\u2019 became the new center of our musical worlds,\u201d recounts Ross. \u201cFeeling that crowd stomp along, with their Brazilian dosey-doe and joyful abandon, was truly special.\u00a0 Since then, we\u2019ve toured the world recreating that moment.\u201d It was that moment when Matuto (Brazilian slang for \u201ccountry boy\u201d) knew they were onto something.<\/p>\n<p>That serendipitous, dance floor-friendly something remains delightfully open ended, a question the band poses about culture\u2019s mutability and migratory habits, about what it means to embrace and treasure sounds from outside the musical world you were born into. It\u2019s a question that\u2019s unfolded throughout many centuries of African and European co-mingling in the Americas, from Brazil to the American South.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tension of cultural intersection is an exciting place to exist.\u00a0 It\u2019s what makes our musical choices feel relevant and exciting,\u201d Ross reflects. \u201cWith the music we can ask:\u00a0 What does it mean to be human?\u00a0 Why create imaginary borders?\u00a0 Music offers a safe place to live with these questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matuto\u2019s songs can sway hips just as easily as spark insights.\u00a0On stage, instruments (accordion, guitar, bass, drums, cavaquinho<em>, <\/em>zabumba, and triangle) whirl around the core of Matuto\u2019s sound: the syncopations of Brazilian music and the folk traditions of the American South. Its Bluegrass meets Brazil. It\u2019s an unlikely combination on paper, but on the\u00a0dance floor, it just feels right.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll hear Brazil in the rich tones of Rob Curto\u2019s forr\u00f3 accordion playing, in the rural rhythms of maracatu (from the Pernambuco region), in the urban beats of Rio\u2019s samba, and in the intricate, <em>chorinho<\/em>-inspired melodies. All of this balanced with clear connections to American jazz, blues, bluegrass, and folk.<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s core members share a combined obsession with connecting the dots between Brazil, rural America, and creative reinterpretation of long-standing party-hardy forms. In 2002, South Carolina native Clay Ross moved to New York to pursue a jazz career, but just a few years later found himself in Recife, Brazil, immersed in the region\u2019s folkloric music. Returning to New York, he began looking for like-minded conspirators, finding the perfect match for his love of Brazilian music in renowned accordionist Rob Curto (Forr\u00f3 for All). Born in New York, Curto is widely regarded as <em>forr\u00f3<\/em>\u2019s (NE Brazil\u2019s accordion-driven country roots music) foremost ambassador in the States. He spent years living and playing in Brazil, completely absorbing and interpreting the country\u2019s musical traditions.<\/p>\n<p>Since that Carnival coup in Recife, the U.S.-based group has toured North America and Brazil, playing hundreds of shows each year, from popular American world music and folk festivals to major Brazilian celebrations. They have been featured showcase artists at the prestigious annual world music gathering WOMEX and have toured as U.S. State Department musical ambassadors in Africa, Europe, and The Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Tapping NYC\u2019s diverse jazz, roots, and world music scenes, they have recorded three highly regarded albums including most recently <em>The Africa Suite<\/em>, a series of original pieces based on the band\u2019s engagement with the people, sounds, and traditions on the road as ambassadors. The <em>Africa Suite<\/em> focuses the band\u2019s fascination with the cultural push and pull between Africa and the Americas, creating a musical snapshot of the five countries on its 2013 State Department-sponsored tour.<\/p>\n<p>Matuto revels in cultures colliding and in the ongoing exchange of ideas.\u00a0 They know its history is not without tension, but those very tensions can fire creative expression and good times. \u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re questioning the boundaries and\u00a0borders of the present and past\u201d muses Ross. \u201cWe can\u2019t always answer these questions, but we can let them guide us towards new possibilities through music.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will present the Matuto, Friday, March 18, 2016 at 8 PM in Milliken Auditorium.
