Biribá Union features Mike Block (Cello, Vocals), Christylez Bacon (Beatbox, Guitar, Rhymes), and Patricia Ligia (Electric Bass, Pandeiro, Vocals), forming a dynamic trio that blends original music with global influences, creating a fresh and accessible sound. Each member draws from their diverse backgrounds, such as Brazilian, Bluegrass, Jazz, Classical, Hip-Hop, Funk, and Pop styles, synthesizing them through original compositions and songs that highlight their improvisational spontaneity and high energy stage presentation.

This program is offered in partnership with Five Boroughs Music Festival, whose mission is to enrich communities and cultivate new audiences for chamber music by presenting world-class, affordable concerts in all corners of New York City. 5BMF collaborates with local cultural institutions to present up-and-coming artists alongside the genre’s most distinguished performers. 5MBF also challenge the standard definition of ‘chamber music’ by featuring a broad range of musical styles, from early music to contemporary works, world and folk music, and other non-classical forms.
