Daughters of Africa is the successor of the African Mamas tour from 2009, that attracted more than 175,000 visitors. For this new show, 12 young women were selected from eight different African countries. Their diversity and cultural backgrounds are the theme of this vibrant show, accompanied by a live band.
For the première in the 1,800-seat theatre, attended by Princess Máxima, The Ribbon Network member Jan van Dijk deployed a large Alcons system, consisting of 30 units of LR14 ultra-compact line-array.
Two main clusters were built upon 12 units of LR14 line-array and four units LR14B line-array bass each. Two groundstacked arrays of three LR14 units and two SR9 acted as in-fill speakers. The complete system was driven by DDP-completed ALC2 and ALC4 amplified loudspeaker controllers.
"The very well-controlled projection, combined with the outstanding sonic performance made the LR14 the right system for this show", says Jan van Dijk. "Looking at the positive comments we received, Alcons was again the right choice."
