Quote from Disney Gazette:
...we note at Disneyland Park, the arrival of musicians these days at the entrance to Adventureland and restaurant Agrabah Café to delve even deeper into the atmosphere:

Very pleasing news :thumbs:
Wow, nice small compensation of the lack of big live entertainment this season(s).... :thumbs:
Awesome, now this is something to get excited about!
Great news! I remember that we have seen some African drum players in Adventureland a few years ago. Are they still around? I think it was in 2006, but I'm not sure.
More of this please DLP! [-o<
Now it only needs new great stage shows in the Chapparal Theatre and in Videopolis and I'm happy with the entertainment.
Quote from: "dagobert"Great news! I remember that we have seen some African drum players in Adventureland a few years ago. Are they still around? I think it was in 2006, but I'm not sure.
Of course, they perform on the Videopolis stage and on the Lion King float in Once upon a Dream Parade. They've been around since opening day. :)
Thanks Kristof! Are they playing there everyday or just when the weather is bad?
Dagobert, I believe they have two days a week off. But they are on 5 days a week every day (though I wish they were where they belonged rather than having this tenuous link of Videopolis being a place to set off on a round the world voyage).
I remember them playing in front of the Hakuna Matata restaurant. They definately fit better into Adventureland rather than Discoveryland.
Is Videopolis still playing old Disney cartoons?
Yep, it is.
I agree, the Hakuna Matata location was perfect (or indeed they would play in Col Hathi's when wet and cold).
Here is a reminder of a less serious DWB with the Tam Tams:

rofl DWB! Love it! I've never seen any of the street performers at DLP :( I feel deprived lol! Then again this comes from a girl thats been 5 times and hasnt seen Cinemagique :lol: Smurfys promised he'll drag me to see it ;)
You must see Cinemagique, but be sure to take your hankies. At the original DL and indeed at WDW to a lesser extent, it is this sort of entertainment that makes a large part of the Disney difference. The more we see of it in DLP, the happier I get ;)
I remember seeing the street performers in what was then MGM and Animal Kingdom but I've never seen them in DLP. Then again I am never there during peak times so that might have something to do with it. Then again were were off peak in WDW. Having said that WDW has a better financial standing then DLP :lol:
Am considering a trip to DL in a few years, gotta save a bit first ;).
When I went in July, they were advertised as performing in Videopolis, but guess where I saw the african drummers? In Adventureland where they belong! I think it was outside Hakuna Matata, but i can never rememebr all of the restaurants in Adventureland.
:offtopic: I love the street entertainment we used to have especially the carol singers you found on Main Street
I miss the Dapper Dans, Casey Corner's pianist and the big band that used to play in Studio 1 :(
And the Austrian Oompah band that used to play on the little bridge in Studio 1 at Christmas (sigh)
Are these guys new?

I don't remember seeing them before, so I guess they could be new! It's good they're introducing a little more live music. I just wish they'd make a timetable so we know when to catch all the groups.
