Tao? a word that uses the Chinese character for ?way? or ?road? was founded in 1993 with the bold goal of creating a brand of wadaiko entertainment hat would appeal to audiences worldwide. While a potentially favourable wadaiko boom was emerging in Japan at the time. TAO recognised that this was a mere passing phenomenon tha that hardly empahasised the importance of real drumming? skills. In a brave move, the group decided to first lay their roots in the southern kyusha region to enable them to steadly build strength and hone their skills until they would be ready to play in front of demanding, international audiences.
Powerful athletic bodies, expolsive percussion and timeless rituals are complimented perfectly in this Japanese spectacular featuring unrivalled drumming and martial arts mastery that creates an unforgettable performance.
The 10 young drummers beat thair huge drum with outstanding precision, vehemence and persistancy on their Wadaiko-Drums, which have a circumference of up to 1,70 metres and weighs about 400 kilograms.
Season: August 5
