Walnut Street Free Library at 40th and Walnut streets Free admission
 Join us in July for the Philadelphia debut of Cyro Baptista's Banquet of the Spirits. One of the greatest Brazilian percussionists today, Cyro Baptista is best known for his ensemble Beat the Donkey and has worked closely with many of the world's most acclaimed musicians including Herbie Hancock, Paul Simon, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Wynton Marsalis, Yo-Yo Ma, Laurie Anderson and countless others. Expect to hear a delightful program of experimental Brazilian pop songs in addition to the music of John Zorn. A "pioneer in world music" (The New York Times), percussionist Adam Rudolph is joined by multi-instrumentalist Joseph Bowie for an opening duo set that is grounded in the cosmologies of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the African Diaspora. |
