As I was walking through the subway, I heard some very distinctive music. Usually I’d hear the music, think it was alright, and continue with my commute. But one day, as our IDC class and I were going to the Don Giovani performance I heard something amazing. It was none other than the band Mecca Bodega. Even though we were cutting it close to get to the performance, I just had stop and listen. The band uses a motley of percussion instruments and feature what they describe as “a cultural collage of global drumming and melodic sensibilities. Their sound is hypnotizing. If it wasn’t for the help of my fellow IDC students, I probably would’ve stood there listening for the rest of the day. Heres a link to their website if anyone wants more information: http://meccabodega.com/

Heres a short video i recorded of Mecca Bodega performing. It’ll be available as soon as Vimeo allows. Hope you like it!
