Drumstruck

[2] Drumstruck originated in South Africa, and toured China and Australia before coming to New York City in 2005.

[3] Drumstruck played 40 previews and 607 regular shows from May 2005 to November 2006[4] to sell out Dodger Stages audiences.

[7] The show also featured eleven South African performers dressed in traditional clothing including: Tiny Modise, Africa Djane, Ayanda, Sebone Rangata, Enoch Mahlangu, Richard Carter, Molutsi Mogami, Ronald Medupe, Nomvula Gerashe, Sponch Mogapi, Simon Letsoela and one American performer, LeeAnet Noble.

In 1997 the Drum Cafe set up shop in Greenside Johannesburg, as a musical showcase for traditional musicians, as well as a space where drummers could meet and jam together in a small soundproof room.

Some of the first people to perform there were Waddy Jones from Die Antwoord, Neo Muyanga from Blk Sonshine.
