    Cyro Baptista, percussion Shanir Blumenkranz, bass Kevin Breit, electric guitar and banjo Tim Keiper, drums Romero Lubambo, acoustic guitar Michael Ward-Bergeman, accordion Presented in partnership with the Austin Classical Guitar Society Texas Performing Arts is proud to present Cyro Baptista performing his classical program, Villa-Lobos/Vira-Loucos, an evening focused on Baptista’s 1997 solo debut album of the same name. In this acclaimed collection, Cyro interprets and deconstructs a number of themes by the early twentieth-century classical Brazilian composer Hector Villa-Lobos. The recording is considered a true testament to Baptista’s mastery of music and the live experience beckons to you on a musical journey that is dynamic, virtuosic, grooving, and absolutely unique in sound and vision. ArtesAméricas performance “Cyro follows an eclectic muse that helps him balance compositional sophistication with bedrock propulsion.” NEW YORK MAGAZINE
