Flamenco, African drums, Dance, Hip Hop, Indian tablas, Cuban rumbas and much more.  It all comes together in Drums United’s thrilling new show Ritmo Inferno.

Drums United is an explosive and exciting world-percussion group led by drummer Lucas van Merwijk that brings together rhythms and percussionists from all directions. Made up of nine percussionists, from six different countries: Bangladesh, Senegal, Germany, the Netherlands, Surinam and Venezuela, Drums United mixes African, Latin and Indian drum traditions with western drumming, while utilizing contemporary electronic sounds made possible by the DJ.

Much more than a drum group it’s a smoking live band that not only gives the audience an opportunity to listen to and watch top players, but also imparts the underlying message that people from widely varying nationalities can work well together.  Drums United occupies a unique place in the world of percussion groups by combining elements of the rich traditions of percussion with those of song and dance.
