A young, all-women ensemble upends the percussion paradigm
The members of Recap, four young women of color from New Jersey, have built a mission of gender equity into their striking debut album.
The story begins in a New Jersey elementary school, where four young girls of color — Aline Vasques, Alexis Carter, Tiahna Sterling and Arlene Acevedo — were all best friends. In middle school they began studying percussion together with Joe Bergen, a member of the ensemble. They continued through high school and graduated, an outstanding debut album.
