"...Rob Curto's Forro For All turned out to be the smash-hit dance party of the 2009 American Folk Festival." Bangor Daily News
Italian-American musician Rob Curto brings passion, energy and musicality to the accordion, shedding new light on the instrument's many timbral and rhythmic possibilities. The Los Angeles Times writes that, "Curto's originals..combine traditional authenticity with persuasive dashes of jazz."
An early devotee of North American swing music, bebop piano, funk, rock and blues, Rob Curto combines these influences with his mastery of their South American counterparts forró, chorinho, samba, maracatu, frevo and the many other styles that belong to the Brazilian accordion tradition. The result is completely original, authentic and stimulating to fans of all kinds, and has earned the accordion many a convert, who profess to having discovered a love for the instrument at one of his shows.
