World of Rhythm

World of Rhythm
Drums United, The Netherlands

"A really amazing journey through the many paths of drums, percussion, and world music. Five stars all the way!" Horacio 'eL NEgRO' Hernandez

World of Rhythm An explosive and exciting world-percussion group brings African drums, Dance, Hip Hop, Indian tablas, Cuban rumbas and more, with percussionists from nations such as Bangladesh, Senegal, Spain, Germany, The Netherlands, Surinam and Venezuela. This is more than just a drum group - it's a smoking live band that not only gives students an opportunity for listening and watching top players, but also imparts the underlying message that people from widely varying nationalities can work well together.
