PanAlley Steel Orchestra - “Cyah Behave” - 2026 - (‘Cool Down’ version - Video)

Brooklyn, New York, USA - In a relatively short time, PanAlley Steel Orchestra has established itself as one of New York’s major educational and performing musical forces. Founded and directed in 2024 by veteran panist Travis Roberts, PanAlley represents the youngest steel orchestra among the city’s elite crew. 

For 2026 the orchestra is again led by Marc Brooks - the abundantly talented member of the Three Amigos. He gives us a deeply thoughtful rendition of the popular New York favorite, Voice’s “Cyah Behave.” The selection was performed by no less than five steel orchestras in this year’s 2026 New York Panorama competition. This is PanAlley’s ‘Cool Down’ version recorded on Wednesday September 2.

Basement Recordings captured PanAlley as the band prepared in their Brooklyn, New York panyard before going to Panorama on Saturday September 5, 2026.
