Yamato - The Drummers of Japan: Rojyoh-The Beat on the Road

Yamato - synonymous with a time from days long past and filled with Buddhist spirituality. The unique ensemble fuses the spirit of Zen with the beats of the 21st century in a fascinating show: brilliant, virtuoso and penetrating. A rousing production that presented viewers with a perfect symbiosis of acoustic and optical art on a major European tour in 2005. Taiko, the classic Japanese drum, is one of the oldest instruments in the world. Your call touches people deep down. As the musicians of the Yamato Troupe beat their drum, they are inspired by the throbbing heartbeat of their own body since the moment of their birth. Imbued with this feeling, they conjure up the "heartbeat of the soul" from their own bodies, trained with "Taiko-do" - sometimes dynamic, sometimes gentle. Yamato creates the moment when the human heartbeat coincides with the "heartbeat of the soul".
