A sad news for Disney's Animal Kingdom. The Village Beatniks (that play African music throughout the park) are leaving for good. Here's the news:

I hope the best for the group, and I also hope we'll see a new group coming as soon as possible, since we all know that the current state of Disney's Animal Kingdom is not great.
Go to The Laughing Place for a video of them.
I'm sad that they're leaving....
ReplyDeleteI liked their music, and they used to make the park a more enjoyable place, with their music (of course, appropriate to the theme of the park).
