Prepare to be blown away! DRUM TAO delivers a breathtaking spectacle of raw power and exquisite artistry. Imagine the earth resonating with the thunderous pulse of massive Wadaiko drums, interwoven with the soaring melodies of Japanese flutes and the delicate shimmer of harps. This isn’t just a performance; it’s a visceral experience that shatters expectations and redefines Japanese entertainment for a new generation.
From sold-out Off-Broadway runs that had Newsweek hailing them as a representation of Japan itself, to their wildly popular “MANGEKYO” long-run in Tokyo, DRUM TAO has captivated audiences worldwide. They’ve even shared the stage with the legendary Bolshoi Ballet and opened “Japonisms 2018” in Paris. Their global impact is undeniable, with a top-ranking debut album on iTunes and numerous prestigious awards from the Japanese government.
