Featured in movies like Across the Universe and Rachel Getting Married, Brazilian percussionist and composer Baptista has worked with Herbie Hancock, Yo Yo Ma, Brian Eno and many others. Time Out New York says that Baptista is “The man the stars call when they want that otherworldly flavor in the mix.”
