SHINee to perform at percussion festival

On August 4, the 2011 Sacheon World Percussion Festival will commence. As Korea's first festival dedicated to percussionists and the instruments they play, the four-day Sacheon World Percussion Festival allows visitors to learn not only about international traditional percussion music, but also experience traditional Korean folk culture at its finest.

24 percussion teams from 11 countries will perform at the percussion festival, with stages beginning at 8 PM each night of the festival. Countries that will be represented at the festival include the United States, China, Japan, Brazil, Thailand, India, and Vietnam.

However, great percussionists are not all that audience members can expect out of each stage. On August 4th, opening for the festival will be a stage with a "idol singers and world percussion" theme. Popular idol group SHINee will perform alongside the world's top female drummer, Cindy Blackman Santana. Santana, who has stated her goal to become a musical virtuoso, is expected to put on a great performance with the members of SHINee.

What are your expectations for their collaboration performance?
