A Latin-ska-reggae fusion band, a female mariachi group and a wind quintet were among the 25 new musical acts selected to be part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Music Under New York program. They join some 370 groups allowed to play with amplification in the subway's busiest spots.
Sixty four acts auditioned for spots in the program in front of a panel of judges in Grand Central Terminal on May 16. (See the video below.)
Here's the full list of musicians chosen:

Nice
Looking forward to seeing them in the subway, along side my subway favorites: cellist Ming Jun, violinist James Grassec and the 'Saw Lady'. (This is the 'Saw Lady' http://youtu.be/lPvTTc7jAVQ if you don't know who I'm talking about).
