"A performance of such rampaging energy that it threatens to bring down the house."
—The Scotsman
Listen to audio clips by Yamato: sample 1 and sample 2
Exuberant, boisterous, and unbelievably energetic, the male and female
drummers of Yamato draw upon unbridled enthusiasm and superhuman
feats of coordination, acrobatics, and humor to communicate the ancestral
belief that the drumbeat, like the heartbeat, is the very pulse of life.
With a massive Taiko drum made from a 400-year-old tree as its centerpiece, Shin-On (“Heartbeat”) blends thunderous rhythms with Japanese music
of delicate beauty, celebrating Japan’s rich cultural traditions.
