Cyro came to the US from Brazil in 1980 and has been breaking out in the last decade or so. He was nominated for a 2006 Grammy in the Best Pop Instrumental Performance category for Gelo Na Montanha which he wrote with Herbie Hancock and Trey Anastasio from Phish. Even if you don’t recognize Cyro’s name, you’ve probably heard his music on recordings with David Byrne, Kathleen Battle, Gato Barbieri, Dr. John, Brian Eno, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Robert Palmer, Melissa Etheridge, Laurie Anderson, John Zorn, James Taylor, Carly Simon, Michael Tilson Thomas, Daniel Barenboin, Bobby McFerrin, Wynton Marsalis, Yo-Yo-Ma, Medeski Martin & Wood, Spyro Gyra, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Santana and Sting. You get the picture. |
