Kaminari UK Taiko Drummers are a Japanese style drumming ensemble based in Yorkshire. We regularly perform at various events from small private gigs to larger festivals, and ranging right through to full theatre shows.
Our performances are energetic, exciting, dynamic and have theatrical and dance elements which make the shows as much visual as they are musical. Our main influence is from Japanese culture, folklore and festivals, but we are also inspired by other musical styles which results in our shows incorporating traditional Japanese rhythms alongside contemporary pieces composed by our group. We aim to promote Taiko drumming as a performing art and provide a professional entertaining show for all to enjoy. |
