Over 1,000 spectators witnessed the best team from ASIA “Chaar Payee” which bagged 4th position in the Red Bull Tum Tum Pa World Finals at Rio de Janeiro. Surrounded by sugar loaf and the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, the world’s best classroom drummers showed their talent for producing sounds, in tune with each other and the crowd.
Talha Jamil, Ahmer Mubashar, Usman Qureshi and Raja Nabeel Banwa of Chaar Payee, representing Pakistan at this mega international platform, became national heroes almost overnight as they moved from the first round of the world finals into the top 10, beating countries like India, Australia, Canada and many more.
At the end, it was Egypt’s STB that took the crown, winning the second round and thus the World Finals! Chaar Payee stood fourth and was the only Asian country in the Top 5.
Their eyes closed, their feet and hands moving fast to the sounds of sticks drumming on classroom tables and of notepads tearing – that’s how national finalist team Chaar Payee, from Pakistan, made the Brazilian fans believe that rhythm also exists beyond the boarders of the land of samba.
