Voca People | BE ON (OFF) BROADWAY!

The Voca People are 8 Intergalactic "Vocal Acrobats" that are literally out-of-this-world! What began in 2009 as a YouTube sensation has developed an International beatbox/a capella/vocals only phenomenon that is currently capturing the hearts of music and Broadway lovers in NYC and across the

This unique endeavor gives school singing groups, vocal groups, choirs, glee clubs, opera companies, and beatbox teams, the chance of a lifetime: To be a part of the Voca People's show at the New World Stages as special guest stars to perform their song to a live New York audience!

In addition, we would offer special discount tickets to the friends and family of the chosen groups so everyone has a chance to see them on stage and experience the all-vocal, International meets Broadway Intergalactic Sensation: VOCA PEOPLE.

This is the "real life" GLEE, giving the chance for singing groups of every kind, background, and style to shine in the lights of Broadway and bring joy and pride to their schools, communities, and most of all, themselves (and bragging rights too!).

Wednesday, June 6, 2012-7pm: Inyang Bassey

Inyang Bassey [pronounced E-yang] is an artist who leaves audiences awestruck by the arresting emotion and raw power of her voice. Currently featured on four tracks of Moby’s recent release, and on his new track “Poison Tree” which she performed with him on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno April 2012, Bassey exhibits an uncanny genre defying dexterity. Her dynamic musical style is exhibited raucously through her new solo project featuring a revolving cast of stellar guitarists including Binky Griptite (Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings), Tony Jarvis (Fela! and HBO’s Treme), and Jaleel Bunton (TV on the Radio). For a singer who has been called out by institutions such as Vogue and Rolling Stone for her dynamic emotional range, we can only look forward to her upcoming debut solo recording!

Bassey’s powerful voice can next be heard with The Roots on July 20, 2012, 8pm at the Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in a tribute to celebrate the 70^th year birthday of the late, great Curtis Mayfield.
