Live percussion from JustinJustin aka “Toca” and Ale Ale Drummers
Ale-Ale is a drumming/dance group that I created in 1999. Born out of New York Central Park’s Drum Circle, I met two amazing women drummers. Promoters started to ask us to play in night venues. A few months later we were on a big stage performing for a large audience.
 
The Ale-Ale Foundation is not just drummers but also Brazilian Samba Dancers & Capoeiristas. This is a conscious movement of artistic loving folks who support expression of all mediums.

Renowned by top DJ’s and producers of the digital cumbia scene in Latin America and European bass-pundits alike, Geko Jones is one of the select few DJ’s pushing forward the Latin agenda in a world wide tropical bass scene. A founding member of both the New York Tropical and Que Bajo?! party franchises in New York, and a partner and co-owner of the Dutty Artz record label with producer Matt Shadetek and DJ /Rupture, his mixes span the tropical hemispheres and collage together hours of globally sonic dance- floor mayhem. His DJ sets incorporate heavy afro-latin percussion mashed up against the hard synth lines and global breaks.
