The Lion King: Circle of Life by LEBO M. - LIVE at the HAVASI Symphonic Concert Show in Budapest

An amazing live performance of The Lion King title song by the legendary LEBO M. and more than 100 artists of the HAVASI Symphonic Concert Show.
For more than 20 years, the magical story of Symba has captured the hearts of millions of children and adults. In 2014 Lebo M., the co-composer and performer of The Lion King and HAVASI Symphonic revived the immersive opening song, Circle of Life. This unique performance conjured up the exotic world of the savanna featuring a huge symphony orchestra, choir, rock drums, African singers, world music soloists and the dancers of ExperiDance.
The show attracted 46,000 visitors in a single weekend and this special performance with Lebo M. remains an unforgettable memory for the audience of the Budapest Arena in Hungary. It was also performed at the Sala Polivalenta in Romania and the Wiener Stadthalle in Austria.
