Village People

There can be very few people in the world who haven’t heard of Village People. The perennial dance floor masters are a one-of-a-kind band synonymous with dance music over a number of decades, but remain most famous for their massive sing along hit, YMCA.
In fact, when the band performed this on New Year’s Eve in 2008 at Sun Bowl, The Guinness World Records book certified it as the world’s largest YMCA dance with over 40,000 fans performing the famous moves in sync as the band provided the music.
Made up of six men (from the first line up, long-term members Ray, David, Felipe, Jeff and Alex continue to play a part) with boundless energy, the band mix up great choreography with plenty of fun and great tunes and have played at concerts and festivals all over the world from Poland to Mexico, Japan to Italy, Spain to South Africa. Some of their other biggest hits include ‘Living in the Wildlife’ and a song with the German Soccer side for BMG Records (Germany) as well as the big number one ‘Far Away in America’.
These kings of disco have, in all, sold more than 100 million records and have appeared on plenty of TV shows from Fox’s Wendy Williams Show to NBC’s Singing Bee with Joey Fatone and in the American Express TV commercial with Ellen Degeneres and Beyonce. They have won many awards for their efforts, have been in every magazine going from Time to GQ to Playboy and now also write and perform their own hit show Trash Disco with new songs like Take My Breath Away.
