About the Performance
Experience the breathtaking and ancient art of Japanese Taiko drums. YAMATO travels all over the world with Japan's traditional Taiko drums, putting its very souls into the unusual instruments.
"YAMATO believes that the drumbeat, like the heartbeat, is the very pulse of life and the epitome of the Japanese spirit," says the troupe's Founder and Artistic Director Masa Ogawa
This captivating performance features 40 different drums beginning each show by hitting a Wadaiko drum weighing half a ton, made from a single piece of wood from a 400-year-old tree. Watch as performers put their thoughts and spirit into each note. "We open the eyes of the heart to find a sort of synchronicity with the other drummers."
Presented by The Friends of the Coronado Foundation
