“Matuto delivered a lively performance that had every head bobbing, every toe tapping, and – for the last number – every person standing and dancing. I cannot wait to see them again.” – Suze Uttal
Matuto’s songs can sway hips just as easily as spark insights. On stage, instruments whirl around the core of Matuto’s sound: the syncopations of Brazilian music and the folk traditions of the American South. It’s Bluegrass meets Brazil. It’s an unlikely combination on paper, but on the dance floor, it just feels right!
This 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.
