Taiko Drumming

"When we lived in Victoria we saw Taiko drummers from Japan. They were fantastic and when the opportunity came to see this group of drummers from Toronto, the Kiyoshi Nagata Ensemble, I jumped at the chance. Wow, Canada should be proud. This group is great, the power of the drummers incredible, the music powerful. Well worth seeing if you get an opportunity.

For those of you who don't know, taiko drumming is from Japan, they were first used as battlefield drums. Their deep voices could be heard for great distances. Some of these drums can be meters across. I would love to hear this kind of drumming done outdoors, in the moonlight, on a warm evening. It would be the kind of experience that one would never forget." I whisper.
