Marc Ribot

Marc Ribot is an American guitarist and composer whose work originated in New York City's no wave scene. His angular, versatile guitar style is defined by its movement between post-punk dissonance, free jazz improvisation, and explorations of Cuban son. Ribot's extensive work as a sideman for artists like *Tom Waits* and *John Zorn* proved definitive, shaping the sound of modern experimental and rock records. This role as an in-demand collaborator, combined with his leadership of bands like Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog and Los Cubanos Postizos, cements his influence across diverse musical landscapes, from avant-garde jazz on the #Tzadik# label to albums released on #Anti-# and #Atlantic#.
