Clad in warrior- like attire, the team opened the act with breathtaking rhythms of African drums that indeed climaxed the well organized show sending a butterfly feel into stomachs of all revelers.

A panpipe sound that opened the concert song was played with local African Instruments, rich in melodies and put a very unique feel to the song.
