Marc Ribot (pronounced REE-bow) was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1954. As a teen, he played guitar in various garage bands while studying with his mentor, Haitian classical guitarist and composer Frantz Casseus. In 1978, Ribot crossed the river to New York City, where he served as sideman for such musicians as jazz organist Jack McDuff and legendary soul shouter Wilson Pickett. Ribot began his five-year stint as a member of the Lounge Lizards (John Lurie's innovative and influential Downtown jazz ensemble) in 1984. At the time Marc's playing, which blended elements of classic Blues guitar with the ironic No Wave/Knitting Factory aesthetic, caught the ear of a number of artists who were also interested in amalgamating and disrupting disparate musical traditions. Ribot performed on some of these singer/songwriter's finest records, including Elvis Costello's SPIKE, MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE, and KOJAK VARIETY; Marianne Faithful's BLAZING AWAY; and Tom Waits' RAIN DOGS, BIG TIME, FRANK'S WILD YEARS, MULE VARIATIONS, and REAL GONE.
All the while, the increasingly in-demand guitarist continues to explore the ever-changing terrain of New York's New Music scene, working with musicians such as Arto Lindsay, Don Byron, Anthony Coleman, T-Bone Burnett, the Jazz Passengers, Evan Lurie, the Sun Ra Arkestra, Chocolate Genius, Bill Frisell, Medeski Martin & Wood, and John Zorn in any number of incarnations.
Ribot also composed and recorded his own brand of Downtown soul music with his bands, Rootless Cosmopolitans and Shrek. In 1996 he recorded DON'T BLAME ME, which found a solo Ribot reinventing a number of American standards, which was hailed by The Village Voice as “a record filled with savory and unlikely amusements.” In 1998 Atlantic Records released the critically acclaimed Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos, featuring Ribot's beautifully slanted interpretations of material by the great Cuban songwriter Arsenio Rodriguez.
Recent musical scores by Marc Ribot include Yoshiko Chuma's ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT dance piece, a documentary film by Greg Feldman titled JOE SCHMOE, a feature film by director Joe Brewster titled THE KILLING ZONE, and IN AS MUCH AS LIFE IS BORROWED, a dance piece by famed Belgian choreographer, Wim Vanderkeybus.
Composer Stewart Wallace recently completed an electric guitar concerto with orchestra written for Marc. The piece was premiered by the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington DC in July of 2004.
Marc continues to write and perform and collaborate. He's currently working on a new, sonically dense, rock band called the Marc Ribot Mystery Trio. He's also producing a record of material by the great Haitian composer/guitar player, Frantz Casseus, and recording with a new project called Spiritual Unity based on the works of Albert Ayler, as well as recording with artists Elvis Costello, and T-Bone Burnett.

Marc Ribot (pronunciado REE-bow) nació en Newark, Nueva Jersey, en 1954. De adolescente, tocó la guitarra en varias bandas de garaje mientras estudiaba con su mentor, el guitarrista y compositor clásico haitiano Frantz Casseus. En 1978, Ribot cruzó el río hasta la ciudad de Nueva York, donde trabajó como músico de acompañamiento para músicos como el organista de jazz Jack McDuff y el legendario cantante de soul Wilson Pickett. En 1984, Ribot comenzó su etapa de cinco años como miembro de los Lounge Lizards (el innovador e influyente conjunto de jazz del Downtown de John Lurie). Por aquel entonces, la forma de tocar de Marc, que mezclaba elementos de la guitarra clásica del blues con la estética irónica de la No Wave/Knitting Factory, llamó la atención de una serie de artistas que también estaban interesados en amalgamar y trastocar tradiciones musicales dispares. Ribot participó en algunos de los mejores discos de estos cantautores, como SPIKE, MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE y KOJAK VARIETY de Elvis Costello; BLAZING AWAY de Marianne Faithful; y RAIN DOGS, BIG TIME, FRANK'S WILD YEARS, MULE VARIATIONS y REAL GONE de Tom Waits.
Al mismo tiempo, el guitarrista, cada vez más solicitado, sigue explorando el terreno siempre cambiante de la escena de la nueva música de Nueva York, trabajando con músicos como Arto Lindsay, Don Byron, Anthony Coleman, T-Bone Burnett, los Jazz Passengers, Evan Lurie, la Sun Ra Arkestra, Chocolate Genius, Bill Frisell, Medeski Martin & Wood y John Zorn en un gran número de encarnaciones.
Ribot también compuso y grabó su propia marca de música soul del centro de la ciudad con sus bandas, Rootless Cosmopolitans y Shrek. En 1996 grabó DON'T BLAME, en el que un Ribot en solitario reinventaba una serie de estándares americanos, que fue aclamado por The Village Voice como "un disco lleno de sabrosas e improbables diversiones". En 1998, Atlantic Records publicó el aclamado Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos, con interpretaciones de Ribot del material del gran cantautor cubano Arsenio Rodríguez.
Las partituras recientes de Marc Ribot incluyen la pieza de danza ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT de Yoshiko Chuma, un documental de Greg Feldman titulado JOE SCHMOE, un largometraje del director Joe Brewster titulado THE KILLING ZONE, y IN MUCH AS LIFE IS BORROWED, una pieza de danza del famoso coreógrafo belga Wim Vanderkeybus.
El compositor Stewart Wallace completó recientemente un concierto para guitarra eléctrica con orquesta escrito para Marc. La pieza fue estrenada por la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Washington DC en julio de 2004.
Marc sigue escribiendo, actuando y colaborando. Actualmente está trabajando en una nueva banda de rock de gran densidad sonora llamada Marc Ribot Mystery Trio. También está produciendo un disco con material del gran compositor y guitarrista haitiano Frantz Casseus, y grabando con un nuevo proyecto llamado Spiritual Unity, basado en las obras de Albert Ayler, así como grabando con los artistas Elvis Costello y T-Bone Burnett.
