“Beats and Strings”
Disney’s newest act, “Beats and Strings,” features Hindustani Raga music by playing the tabla and sitar.
“Beats and Strings” can be found in Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the Asia area near Feathered Friends in Flight!
The performers play a tabla and sitar for around 20 minutes, weather permitting.
Six shows are scheduled for today. The specific show times can be found on the My Disney Experience App.
During “Beats and Strings,” the two performers showcase the iconic melodic improvisation “raga” music is known for.
Between songs, one of the performers gives small lessons of history in the music they’re performing.
Check out their performance from this morning below. ‘Morning Mumbai’ even features sounds of Mumbai.
“Beats and Strings” follows the well-known Chakranadi act that used to be played here. Stephan Mikes was a well-known sitar performer in Disney’s Animal Kingdom until his unfortunate passing in 2023.
In addition to the new performers, Burudika returned to the Africa area of the park on September 29.
