About This Event
In Brazil, Matuto is slang for Country Boy, but this NYC based group of urbanized virtuosos is emerging as one of the world’s hottest international touring acts. Maputo’s songs can sway hips just as easily as spark insights. On stage, the instruments swirl together, bobbing in and out, whirling around the tension at the core of Maputo’s music: the push and pull between the Latin syncopations of Brazilian music and the folk traditions of the American South. Its Bluegrass meets Brazil. “The height of world music sophistication,” says the Chicago Sun Times.
