"…The man the stars call when
they want that otherworldly flavor in the mix…"
- Time Out New York
Since arriving in the U.S. in 1980 from his native country
Brazil, Cyro Baptista has emerged as one of the premier
percussionists in the country.
Coinciding with
the rise in the public’s interest of world music,
Cyro has managed to record and tour with some of music’s
most popular names.
His mastery of
Brazilian percussion and the many instruments he creates
himself, have catapulted him into world renown.
