CYRO BAPTISTA & BANQUET OF THE SPIRITS

Cyro Baptista percussion/vocals, Brian Marsella keyboards, Shanir Blumenkranz bass, Tim Keiper percussion

Percussionist Cyro Baptista collaborates with major artists in all genres, from Herbie Hancock to Yo-Yo Ma, John Zorn and Sting. In all his projects Baptista displays a refined musicianship, a theatrical feel and a unique sense of humour. Banquet of the Spirits elaborates on advanced Brazilian pop music. ‘A tasty steam table of soulful music – touched by a cartoon sensibility that makes room for… surf rock, trad jazz, devil horn metal and ritual music’ (JamBase).

Celebrating jazz since 1974
