Experience the thunderous rhythms of the ancestral Japanese Taiko drums and the magical sounds of the bamboo flutes at the hands of the internationally acclaimed Taikoza drum group. Featuring performances on large ancestral Taiko drum, the program artfully blends its thunderous sound with colorful dances and soulful melodies played on bamboo flutes. Traditional costumes and dynamic motion make Taikoza shows immensely popular with audiences of all ages. The group’s sold out shows have received international critical acclaim as a revitalized art form that creates invigorating energy that thrills audiences all over the world. This exciting group draws from Japan’s rich tradition of music and performance to create a highly visual performance.
Roughly translated, Taiko means “big drums” – and that’s exactly what Taikoza delivers – big drums, powerful rhythms and electrifying, room-thumping energy. www.Taikoza.com
