Tyrone Owusu Slater hails from St. Vincent in the Caribbean, homeland of the Garifuna people, where he was first drawn to music by the Starlift Steel Pan Movement of the 1970s.

He has worked with The Rhythm Wizards, The Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium, and The Afrigarifuna Jazz Ensemble. He currently plays with the Weusi Ensemble and the jazz band Zanrah. Slater is also a storyteller with the African Folk Heritage Circle and Pearls of Wisdom, as well as chairman of the Cultural Association of Vincentians.

Val Kinzler is a music warrior who unites people. Legendary boogie-woogie singer/keyboardist Dr. John gave her the heroic name of "Valkyrie," a mythical Scandinavian warrior woman. When she was a child, the popular classmates would ask, "Why do you want to hang out with them?" (referring to the unpopular kids). Val's mission is "to rescue war-torn heroes and working class zeroes from the injustices of our times, and reward them with poetic immortality in Valhalla." This resonates with her work in music, educational programs, and with "NYC Women Who Rock." Val Kinzler has released five albums.
