(DISCOVER) Tel Aviv: Drummer's Beach - The Sound Of A Melting Pot

The drummers' beach in the dolfinarium in Tel-Aviv is a special manifestation of the sizzling melting pot, that is Israel.

Dozens of drummers showing what they can without any coordination, sharing the joy of music and togetherness until the sun sets and Shabbat descends - this is what the Drum Beach in Tel Aviv is about. The beach is on the southern part of the city's coastline, and it's proud to be the capital of musical, dance and acrobatic improvisation every Friday, as long as it's warm.

It's best to go there a little before the sunset in order to find a place to sit and enjoy the performance. Eventually sitting won't matter, when everyone sinks into the tornado of dance. Dozens of drummers improvise and are joined by people playing other instruments, acrobats and dancers. There are always about 10 photographers jumping around.
