The quick evolution of percussion instruments is due to the contact of the different civilizations from the world, which made that a lot of new instruments appeared, resulting some of them enough familiars. At the same time, this development has made the evolution of new techniques. In the second half of XXth century the percussion ensembles appeared with its own identity due to all this evolution. With this concert-show for 5 percussionists and narrator, we want to show the history of humanity through the percussion instruments, with and accurate choose of pieces from different periods narrated by an actor and with a fun and dynamic “mise en scene.”

Our goal is to create sensibility to the children towards the music in a concert where they are participating also trough different activities motivating then for the learning of this language.
