Yoràn Vroom Group of Friends

Together they are strong, these friends. And music is their superpower. They know each other from Amsterdam South East. As a little boy, Yoràn went to music school there, where he learned how to play the drums. He also wanted to know everything about the music of the Caribbean culture of his family. Now he will finally perform where his old teacher used to give concerts. He has come full circle, with a little help from his friends.

In the family concert series Groove Beest you will discover why some music makes you want to tap your foot to the beat or jump up start dancing. Together with MC Cheyenne Toney and the band members you will feel the groove. Sitting still is not an option; so jump, dance and clap along and unleash your inner beast. Get in the mood with this video.

This concert is part of Big Sounds Amsterdam. This biennial festival highlights large ensembles that provide space for improvisation, bold ideas and worldly sounds.
