MUGENKYO TAIKO DRUMMERS
with special guests WADAIKO TOKARA
Two mighty forces combine in a first-time earth-shaking taiko concert tour, as Mugenkyo and Tokara celebrate the 20th anniversary of their meeting at the First European Taiko Festival. In 2016 they share the stage again, bringing a new dimension to Mugenkyo's popular stage show.
Mugenkyo are the UK's most successful touring taiko group, renowned for their high-octane energy, contemporary look & sound, and gritty passionate style. Japan-based Wadaiko Tokara thunder into the UK with a reputation of speed, precision and mesmerising martial power, with leader Art Lee winning prestigious awards for his electrifying Odaiko (big drum) performance.
The musical fusion of these two contrasting & complementary groups will shake the foundations and thrill the senses, in an explosive coming together of pure taiko energy…. Hold on to your seats!
"Just when you think it could not get any more powerful, it doubles in intensity.This show is not one to be missed."
