Drum Cafe Kicks off the Beijing Olympics 8 August 2008

Drum Cafe Dazzles at Beijing Opening Ceremonies

SABC News Release

The world was in attendance via satellite television for what was revered to be the most elaborate opening ceremonies in history last Friday. Among the acts, Drum Cafe's interactive performance team was proud to lead in atheletes from South Africa's olympic and paralympic teams. 

           

"Nothing brings together a crowd like the sound of rhythmic drumming; it really helped to build excitement and anticipation for the audience and the athletes. Our message has always been to unite, uplift and inspire, and it was great to be a part of the ultimate representation of that; the opening ceremonies for an olympic games. It was a very magical experience for all who attended, and viewed the event on television" says Danny Aaron, from Drum Cafe. 

The opening ceremonies also employed some of the most creative ideas seen at an Olympic opener and will no doubt help to stimulate new possibilities for those looking to do something really special for their next meeting or special event.
