In times ofincreasing “corporatisation” of the entertainmentindustry, it now seems like a good time for corporates to get entertained.
And drumming leads the way. Whether it’s a corporate dinner, entertainment event or small social function Drum Café, all the way from South Africa, bring out their vibrant beats moved by the experience of communal drumming in Africa.
The Drum Cafe concept is a unique hands-on application of African drums and percussion for interactive drumming.
“Drumming is a universal expression that transcends all boundaries. Drum Café teaches people to increase productivity and efficiency through better team work,” says Torre who is a part of the five-member group alongwith a director.
Their performance have been slotted on Mondays at Bootleggers in Colaba. Torre explains, “We try to create a unifying experience to feel the power of a group of people working together to achieve a common objective.
First, we break down barriers with an opening of non-verbal communication. Second, we align everyone to a common theme through the bass note. We then use the power of the bass note, the alignment of the music, as the metaphor for demonstrating the power of alignment within the group. Third, we explore the diversity, in everyone’s unique and individual contribution through the tone note.We close off with an interactive high energy percussion set, embracing diversity handing out fun percussive instruments.
This is where we take the drumming skills that we have learned in the beginning to create music,” says Torre. The Drum Cafe was started in Johannesburg by Warren Lieberman in 1996.
“It was started with the passion to unite different groups of people together in South Africa’s post the apartheid era,” says Torre.Watch, learn and step to the beats of the Jambe.
