Live drum concert from Hong Kong breaks time boundary with 5G technology

Young artists of Guangzhou Drum Troupe brought valiant beats of ancient warriors. The performances of South Korean artists created mythical imaginations of the wind, rain and cloud. Abbos Group showed its exquisite kills by playing the drums with extreme speed of the palm, fingers and elbow. Oda beat the drums with force and strength, and larger drumsticks in typical Japanese style. Azaguno, which means a "master drummer" among the Ewe people of Ghana in West Africa, displayed traditional African music and dancing, while Fernandes played the drums with jazz style.

Each troupe performed its own program, which was silkily adapted to the harmony of dozens of other instruments of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, creating special echoing treats unheard of before. The finale culminated in an overall performance by all the teams, each playing to its fullest and all integrated with music from traditional Chinese instruments even with hundreds of small Chinese rattle drums waved by the audience, indicating the sweet and sound merge of Asian and African styles, and the cultivation of new music trends of our times.

The concert was live-streamed via 5G to a global audience on the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra Youtube Channel, Radio Television Hong Kong TV 32, and broadcast live at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall and in Room A504, Yuen Long District Community Services Building, and on open screens in Ghana, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
