One can't fully appreciate Kattam's prodigious skill and showmanship until having seen him perform live. This wildly entertaining video puts those talents on full display as master percussionist, Kattam, enthralls a sizable young audience with a live show of his musical adventure, 'Timbuktu to Bombay'! Part musicology, part geography and 100% adventurous fun, it's the sort of interactive performance kids can't get enough of. Kattam takes his audience on a visceral voyage to the villages of West Africa, the souks of the Maghreb, the minarets of the Middle East, and the sublime cities of India! Viewers at home participate just as avidly as those present at the show - venturing guesses to playful questions, emulating rapid fire rhythms, and frequently joining in with full body participation to the infectious beats. For 60+ minutes, Kattam and his Tam-Tams holds youngsters spellbound with exciting segments that include Bollywood and tectonic dance choreography, the songs Rapping Africa and Alors On Danse, Sufi trance rhythms, djembe workshops, and much more. Bravo!
