Two Life Sized Elephants Accompany Live Kerala
Drummers at Global Village
Global
Village, Dubai’s leading family entertainment and cultural destination, has
brought a troupe of highly reputed Kerala Drummers to perform for visitors and
give them a taste of a traditional Indian form of music that is played both for
enjoyment and as part of ceremonies.
The
Kerala Drummers will be performing behind the Global Culture Stage, until the
end of January. On weekdays ten professional drummers will perform, with the
number of performers going up to 20 on weekends. The performance is one which
visitors are likely to see during festivals hosted by temples, where the
drummers take to the streets to keep people entertained.
The
performance will have the drummers playing their instruments while standing
next to two life-sized statues of elephants. The elephants will be wearing the
traditional nettipattam – known in English as a Caparison – which is an
embroidered cloth that is laid over the face of the elephant as a way of making
it beautiful.
