We analyze the holographic description of non-singlet baryons in various
backgrounds with reduced supersymmetries and/or confinement. We show that they
exist in all AdS_5xY_5 backgrounds with Y_5 an Einstein manifold bearing five
form flux, for a number of quarks 5N/8< k< N, independently on the
supersymmetries preserved. This result still holds for gamma_i deformations. In
the confining Maldacena-Nunez background non-singlet baryons also exist,
although in this case the interval for the number of quarks is reduced as
compared to the conformal case. We generalize these configurations to include a
non-vanishing magnetic flux such that a complementary microscopical description
can be given in terms of lower dimensional branes expanding into fuzzy baryons.
This description is a first step towards exploring the finite 't Hooft coupling
region.Comment: 36 Pages, 1 figure, Latex, v2: few minor changes, JHEP versio
