South African band 1st Project thinks India is perfect for its aggressive percussion show whic must have added to their tabla to their heavy-duty drumming.
A recent performance in India, Mumbai left many feeling as they were an amazing audience. The kind of energy, passion and the respect you have for the artistes is amazing. You are completely invested in the performance. All this encourages us to give a power-packed performance.
Origin and inspiration: All the members of 1st Project are matriculants of The National School of the Arts where they all received full colours in music for a show that they choreographed. That was where they met. They originally started it as a project to earn some extra marks at music school, it slowly grew into something that South Africa had never seen.
Before they knew it they started being used for anything from clubs and festivals to corporate functions. Then they started trying odd "instruments" such as brooms, dustbins, bottles, road signs, matchboxes, cane sticks, shoes and many more into the show.
