New York City Performers Offer Hip Hop Twist Posted: 19 Apr 2009 06:01 PM PDT Guitarists, bassists and vocalists are the usual suspects to steal the show at live performances, but not this time. Percussionists, step dancers and even a violinist took the spotlight at "Hip-Hop Unique," a free event sponsored by the Campus Activities Board in Paws in the University Union Friday night. "I figured a unique hip-hop event would be something different," CAB programming chair Travis Payne said. "I wanted a little variety between percussion and dance. When I came to Towson, this is what I pictured as a Friday Night Live event, something to get you involved with the performers and something to end your week on a good note." The Street Beats, a New York City dance and percussion troupe and Svet, the hip-hop violinist, rocked out in front of a sizable crowd preceded by a special performance by the Black Student Union's rhythm step team. "It's hard finding drummers to do this show because drummers usually sit in the back while the guitarist rocks out," Zoilo Ruiz, founder of The Street Beats, said. "In this show there is none of that. We are moving our bodies and we are more in the front than hanging back like a normal drummer." Ruiz also recently contributed to the video game "Rock Band 2," in which he performs as the game's virtual drummer. "We use props from the street," Ruiz said. "One day I started banging on a trashcan, and ever since I could remember I started to make sounds out of everyday objects using different props." The drummers used other street props, including traffic cones, buckets and long poles. Two break-dancers accompanied the drummers. Svet, 22, has played violin since he was three years old. He was born and raised in Bulgaria where he was trained in classical violin for 12 years. When he moved to the United States, he fell in love with hip-hop and fused his love for violin with it. "It's hard to pick good songs because you have to pay attention to the melody but I've performed songs like 'Thong Song' by Sisqo and 'Overnight Celebrity' by Twista," Svet said. "I love watching people dance to hip-hop. When people think of violin, they think of classical music. But when I combine it with hip-hop, it energizes everyone. I've even performed at nursing homes and they enjoyed it. Hip-hop has a bad name in some ways but an instrument like violin can get people to respect it." BSU's Rhythm Step Team is composed of students who stomp their feet and clap their hands on different body parts to make beats. The theme for their show was cops and robbers. A highlight from the show was when the students playing cops patted down the students playing robbers while keeping a beat. "It is an art because it's a gift and talent that certain people are particularly blessed with," freshman Ololade Ikuomola, said. "We are not afraid to get out there and basically we want to carry the crowd with us."
