Yamato - Drummers of Japan


Yamato visited Stockholm 2 days ago.

Wadaiko Yamato 和太鼓倭 is a Japanese musical group of taiko drummers founded in 1993 by Masa Ogawa. In Japanese, the word 和太鼓 "wadaiko" translates as "Japanese drum" and "Yamato" was the former name of the city of Nara, the group's birthplace.
Since its creation, the group has made over one thousand live performances to over one million people in more than 20 countries in Asia, Europe, and the US.



Really amazing thing to experience, They had drums in different sizes and different sounds. The biggest drum, was made of an 450 year old oak, and it was worth about 6 million skr .... thats something huh.

Inbetween the smashing drums sound one can hear their yealling :).
