Friends, Oh-I-am-only-halfway through-this-semester-and so-still-stressed-out students and fellow musiclovers,
It’s a rarity that you get to become a kid again at a musical performance. This weekend, Cyro Baptista, the truely innovative percussionist will be performing at the Power Center with his eight member strong band. Cyro Baptista was here last month as a part of “the Luciana Souza trio” and he was amazing. He is like this mad scientist with such a passion for percussion and he oozes such positive energy and enthusiasm that you have to love him for that! His sense of humor and tendency to make jokes with his percussion too make him such a popular figure with kids and adults alike! But he is also known for his serious Brazilian Beats in the music field.
Titled “Beat the Donkey” from the Portuguese “Pau Na Mula” which means “Let’s go! Let’s do it”, Cyro’s show is a wild, imaginative and extremely entertaining one with a combination of all types of rhythm and sounds that you could possibly hear. In this show, the musicians adorn funky costumes and do everything including impromtu dances to make sure that you don’t sit ramrod straight with passive looks on your faces!
Show times:
Saturday, March 13, 1 pm & 4 pm
Power Center
Tickets ($16) are available at the Michigan League Ticket Office or at the Box Office before the show.
Come, join this fun foot-tapping riot! It’s your time to be a kid again.
For [art]seen,
Krithika
