Here's What Sets Us Apart
We Are One of the Few Musical Artists in the Family Music Industry to Feature Drums and Percussion
We distinguish ourselves in the family music scene by prominently featuring drums and percussion in our performances and recordings. This emphasis on rhythm and percussive elements brings a unique energy and dynamism to our music, engaging children and encouraging them to explore the world of rhythm. Our focus on percussion also connects to the rich traditions of African and Afro-Caribbean music, adding another layer of cultural significance to our work.
