Horizon Sounds of the City: Cyro Baptista: Chama

newark, New Jersey, US

Available Dates

1 Center Street

Our free outdoor concert series continues with Cyro Baptista, the Brazilian percussionist extraordinaire. Artists from every genre have collaborated with this versatile artist: Sting, Paul Simon, Yo-Yo Ma, Herbie Hancock, Kathleen Battle, Phish's Trey Anastasio, Laurie Anderson, Wynton Marsalis, Milton Nascimento and Caetano Veloso. Cyro's musical creation Chama is whimsical and wonderful - a non-stop carnivalesque journey around the world. "Only Cyro Baptista could concoct a mix of music to include Brazilian, Mexican, and Afro-Cuban forms with hints of jazz, funk, and whatever else may fit," says Glide Magazine. Bring your family and friends and join the fun! In the event of inclement and possible inclement weather day of the event, please visit njpac.org for updates.
