Superball, Lollipop & Mr. Classic (8+)

What is your #battle?

During this staged concert you will be carried away by the power of hip hop beats, classical percussion and drums. The three musicians in Superball, Lollipop and Mr. Classic tell a story without words but with their own rhythm. Beatbox, music and dance moves come together in an exciting game in which we move on the beat we all know., the beat of our own heart. What do we need? Ourselves and each other! 

Are you ready to follow your own rhythm? When our rhythms come together, we are indestructible!

Abdelhadi Baaddi
Started human beatboxing at a young age so as not to get bored at the tram stop. When he first heard a cassette tape of Rahzel, he was immediately sold. This was something that Baaddi hasd to and would master. But it reamained a hobby and he mainly focused in his studies in Architecture at the Technical University in Delft. However, the idea of standing on the stage continued to gnaw at him. Especially when he first saw 4-ISH in the Meervaart. That was the day he decided, ''I have to be there too!''.
