Brazilian slang for "country bumpkin," Matuto plays original music inspired by Northeastern Brazilian Rhythms and American Folk. Over the past 3 years, Ross has submerged himself in Brazilian rhythms as a member of Cyro Baptista's world renowned percussion ensemble "Beat the Donkey." With Matuto, this South Carolina native mixes the best of Bluegrass and Baiao for a sound like a Carnival in the Appalachian Mountains.
With Clay Ross - Guitar and Vocals, Rob Hecht - Fiddle and Vocals, Edward Perez - Bass, Tim Keiper - Drums, and Itai Kriss - Flute.
The Album Features Special Guests: Cyro Baptista (Paul Simon, Sting), Richie Barshay (Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock), Ze Mauricio (YoYo Ma, Choro Ensemble), Rob Curto (Lila Downs, David Krakauer), and Scott Kettner (Nation Beat, Maracatu NY)

I'm a guitarrist from Salvador/Bahia - Brasil. I play FORRÓ with my band here in Barcelona where i'm studying jazz now, and i should say that i was very surprised when i saw this video. It is amazing how music travels by it self and there's people out there that is sensitive enough to capture all the great music and aspects of other cultures. Amazing.I felt really proud when i saw this video and i should say that artists like this are the ones that really put the legacy forward. : )

I'm french and saw them in NYC for Thanksgiving, a cozy bar in Greenwich Village. They've all got a great feeling and skills and are very expressive and fresh, especially Clay Ross. Great time...

Saw these guys plays down at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston.. They were amazing!! I picked up a copy of their new album and its simply unbelievable - could be one of the best and most original albums I've heard in a long time!! Definitely pick up a copy and see them live when you can.. you won't be disappointed!!
