Along with the planet’s best mountain bikers descending on Mt Van Hoevenberg for World Cup racing, not one but two famous New York drumlines are also bringing their musical muscle to surprise and delight everyone there.
The New York Alliance Drumline (NYAD) and Fogo Azul are two incredibly powerful performance groups from New York City coming to thrill spectators with their own unique brands of thunderous entertainment.
These two groups will bring culturally rich experience to this world class cycling event, creating an environment that’s beyond thrilling. These groups are more than drummers. They’re musicians. They’re performers. They’re even actors, in a sense. Together, they will bring an additional vitality and life force to the event that people of all ages will find inspiring and even magical.
With musical roots in Samba Reggae, Fogo Azul NYC turns up the heat with thunderous Brazilian rhythms. In delivering high-energy music and well-choreographed performances, they bring the thunder, joy, and intensity of a Brazilian Carnaval to audiences of every age.
NYAD, also known as the Brooklyn Alliance Drumline, is a family centered, award winning, champion performance group that that spreads positivity and teamwork while helping their young musicians build motivation and confidence to be the best students and individuals they can be.
Not unlike the incredibly powerful athletes on which this mountain bike event is focused, these talented groups of musicians are strong and mighty in their own way, too. Their craft requires a similar dedication and hard work to nurture their talents and rise to this top level. The music they offer and their commitment to excellence in what they do will provide yet an additional level of energy and inspiration to all those witnessing these performances.
