I saw Beat the Donkey last thursday for the first time, and WOW!!! I have owned the album (which is great) since it came out, but it just doesn't compare to the live show. I just want to highly reccomend it for any style of drummer or percussionist. Cyro Baptista is an amazing individual and a masterful percussionist. The whole show was just exciting. It was just such a kinetic and fresh (and a little over the top) approach to a percussion ensemble. Very eclectic and international. If you get a chance, SEE THIS SHOW. Plus, Cyro and his whole crew was very warm and friendly after the show, talking to the crowd and signing autographs. Just a positive experience all around.
