Customer Reviews:
Diverse and exciting, but ultimately fails to capture the energy it should........2005-12-21
Cyro Baptista's Beat the Donkey is a percussion and dance ensemble-- I've not heard their previous record, but picked up "Love the Donkey" when it was released as I've really grown to love Baptista's work in the past couple years.
One thing I can safely say is that it's clear this ensemble would be absolutely stunning live. But this is a record, so I'll talk a bit to it. Baptista and his band (seven percussionists in addition to himself) whip up a rather aggressive stew of multi-cultured music. Nothing seems to be left out, from Brazil to Jamaica to Irish to tap to Led Zeppelin. Boundaries between different musics are broken down and seemlessly integrated into the pieces. Standout pieces include opener "American Constitution" (excitable percussion and Baptista shouting into a megaphone), "Bottles" (the ensemble blowing on, yes, bottles, several of them), the totally off-the-wall didgeridoo meets dub workout "Matan" and Irish-ish "Maria Teresa" (a great spotlight for guest performer, violinist Mark Feldman).
