Walkabout The World - A Disney Podcast - Disney's Animal Kingdom Musical Tour With Producer Josh

Episode Date: November 5, 2023

Hello Travelers. Trek along with Producer Josh this week on a live music tour of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Live music adds so much to this wonderful park, and today we take a listen to a few of these wonderful performers.   We would like to dedicate today’s episode, a celebration of the live music at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, to our friend, musician and composer Stephan Mikés aka Chakranadi, who passed away last month. Chakranadi was always a highlight of our DAK walkabouts from the very beginning. His sitar music helped bring so much life to our beloved kingdom of Anandapur, and we loved bringing his music to you on our walkabouts. We added a special clip to the end of this episode to honor the joy that his music and performances brought to park guests and to our listeners.   As always, use good listening devices as we always record in 4 channel surround sound. We hope you enjoy the episode and thanks so much for following along!    Visit us a walkabouttheworld.com - find links to all the things - attraction episodes, Insta accounts of all the hosts, and even how to buy your own Walkabout shirt!   Look us up at @WalkaboutWDW on Instagram and drop us a note to say hi.   You can now also drop us at line at [e-mail].

Well hello travelers and welcome back to Walk About The World. Joshua Tahir just walked into Animal Kingdom and I think today I'm going to take you on one of our classic Animal Kingdom musical extravaganza walkabouts. We're just going to walk around, park, take in all the wonderful musical entertainment that Disney's Animal Kingdom has to offer. So if you can hear already, we're entering Harambe. I'm gonna start you off with the Tam Tam drummers. Let's have a listen. Thank you. And thank you everybody! That was the Harambe Show!

Wherever you go, please, pay the Harambe and thank you for your time! Thank you for taking me together! Looks like we just caught the end of the show, so we can come back later. Get a little bit more. Always a fun show, lots of energy. I'm going to stick around in Harambee and be on the lookout for one

of our favorites here at Walkabout for many reasons haha if you know you know that would be Koratinga Tinga just around the corner here in the marketplace so we're gonna hang out here for a little bit until his next show and take in the whole thing. Until then, enjoy some of the ambient music, and I'll talk to you in a little bit. The Oh, really? Yeah, and I don't like that. Thank you. No, no, no. Standing over across from the Harambee Market, one of the best signs of Animal Kingdom is a painting on the wall. It does not matter who you are or where you are from.

We are all children of the world. I love it. It rings true to the Animal Kingdom spirit, the message behind the whole park. While we're here, we've got to say hi to the fishwa fellow. The old, not-so-hidden Mickey on the wall. Smells great over here and it's about lunch time so I think I'm going to check out one of the new entrees at Harambee Market and wait for the next performance of Korra. See you in a minute. All right. Terima kasih telah menonton Thank you. I don't have any spoons left on my phone. Kampung Kampung Thank you. Terima kasih telah menonton! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Kampung Kampung I don't know if I'm coming. Now we're in. Kampung Kampung That's crazy. Thank you. I answered your question, David. I thought you meant... I'm going to go ahead and get my bag. Thank you. Terima kasih telah menonton The man, the myth, the legend, that is Korra Tinga Tinga.

The Korra, of course, is the instrument. Tinga Tinga, I know know is an African art form. I'm not sure if that's what it's referencing, possibly. But it's such a beautiful, beautiful instrument. I'll have to listen to him every time he's out here. Let's see if we can get a little bit more of the drummers. Si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, Thank you.

a particular musician has been having some health issues. So hopefully he's back soon because this part of the park is definitely not the same without him. But I do hear a flotilla coming. So let's get a little bit of that for ya. Yeah! Seems to be a percussion-filled show today.

You should listen while you're walking. Or running. This seems to be a percussion filled show today. You should listen while you're walking or running. The yellow building right next to our table. Can you smell the barbecue? Just, oh, so great. Just stepped back over to the quiet area behind, seating area behind Flame Tree Barbecue, which is one of my favorites. Stopped here on the bridge. Had a little waterfall. Oh, they're right there. Bunch of white ibises hanging out. Ibises?

Ibis? Ibises? White birds. With big red bills. Sounds of Everest across the way. I'm going to walk out toward Discovery Island and see if we can catch Viva Gaia by street van. Let's go. Already got a crowd forming, that's grab a seat in the shade. Just out front of Flame Tree BBQ, across from the Discovery Trading Company. Look at the stages. Gonna pull up a seat, pull up a chair. There are no chairs, we're going to sit on the ground.

On a very comfortable rock under a tree. And wait for the band. Here, how it work? Yeah. Hello my good friends, we are the Vida Gallant Stream Dance and we're celebrating our music event as well. Hey, it's a party, so everybody come and join the party and follow the beat. This is for the show. Get it, Floreso. Let's go.
