Our unique rhythm and sound programs excite, enlighten and engage audiences of all ages. Our shows are full of storytelling about amazing instruments, where they come from, how they are made and played. Each show is a magical adventure to a fantastical place full of interactive rhythm games, Eco-Education, and world beat drumming. We have two types of childrens programs, Hands-on world beat drumming workshops (ages 4-up) and Interactive Shows (ages 2-11) that feature eclectic percussion instruments sourced from around the globe. We link geography to sounds, rhythms to science, and laughter to learning. Each show is a 'World Music Safari Adventure' that takes participants around the globe in search of amazing instruments and sounds. We travel to African jungles, South American rainforests and the Great Wall of China to discover clues from animal friends and learn about ecology. We can offer our shows at differing production levels to meet your budget and needs, a basic show comes with just the performer and instruments, and all the way up to an Ultimate Show with video screens, staging, and sound and lights.
