Cyro Baptista April 6, 2011

Since arriving in the United States in 1980 from his native Brazil, Cyro Baptista has emerged as one of the premiere percussionists in the country. His mastery of Brazilian percussion, and the many instruments he created himself, has catapulted him to world renown. His credits read like a “Who’s Who” of modern music, having performed on five Grammy Award-winning albums and touring extensively with Yo-Yo Ma’s Brazil Project, Trey Anastasio (of Phish), Herbie Hancock’s Grammy award-winning “Gershwin’s World,” Sting and Paul Simon’s acclaimed recording “Rhythm of the Saints.”
