Velma joined @fogoazulny in 2016. She is now one of the leading members and joins Stacy in conducting the band. She is married with a daughter and lives in Brooklyn and drumming gives her a power and a purpose outside of the family.

[Living Loud / Vivendo Ferozmente @LivingLoudDoc]

Selma was inspired to join @fogoazulny after seeing them in the Women’s March. She met Sara in the band and the two began dating. After their trip to Brazil, they got married, and inspired by the community work of @BandaDida, started a Community Fridge in the Bronx.

Sara was born deaf and wears cochlear implants in both of her ears. She plays the ‘surdo’ drum which means ‘deaf’ in Portuguese. It is one of the largest drums with a deep sonic beat that Sara can literally feel. Otherwise she watches the other drummers and follows their lead.
