人の力 Hito no Chikara – The Power of Human Strength
Step into the world of YAMATO, the Japanese Taiko drumming sensation that has captivated audiences worldwide since 1993. YAMATO takes audiences on a whirlwind tour of rhythm and culture with more than 40 Taiko drums standing tall on stage, each with its own character, size and sound. The mighty "Odaiko," carved from a 400-year-old tree, weighs 500 kg and sets the stage for an awe-inspiring experience. But it's not just about power; YAMATO also creates delicate music, crafting a palette of meticulously curated sound and earning them the title of "physical music."
