Barry (trombone, piano, percussion) and Valerie (marimba, gyli, vibes, voice, percussion) have shared their artistry with reknowned musicians like Philip Glass, Paul Simon and Eddie Palmieri. When not playing with the Saturday Night Live band or Broadway's Lion King, you can catch them on rare occasions playing their own music as Mandara, their home for original compositions, a fusion of African music with inspired "Upper West Side tunes."
