Cyro Baptista & Beat The Donkey
Record Release Party for Infinito – Out now on Tzadik Records
BEAT THE DONKEY, brain child of Brazilian born New Yorker CYRO BAPTISTA, will be the main act of the night, augmented by many surprise special guests
Hailed by The New York Times as “wild, vivid entertainment…BEAT THE DONKEY is a Brazilian carnival crossed with Lower East Side performance art”
Cyro Baptista’s Beat the Donkey is more than just a band. It is a wild, unstoppable and torrid world beat percussive ensemble that blends and beats a bewitching stage stew of untamed percussion, tap dance, martial arts, samba, jazz, rock, funk, and sometimes even the kitchen sink. An exuberant mix of instrumentation from all around the globe and Cyro’s own inventive percussion creations. The musicians hail from many corners of the world and dress in wild, elaborate costumes which creates an atmosphere that is ripe for audience participation – your eyes will be glued to the stage, your asses shaking and your ears smiling! Young or old, your jaw will drop!
