two exciting concerts .
The Masa Daiko Japanese drumming

women. Under the guidance of the
artist and multi-percussionist
Masakazu Nishimine, Masa Daiko

rich Chinese drums repertoire,
pieces from the Japanese
tradition and works by Nishimine
himself, with a steady increase
of emotions which will make the

The story
of Japanese drums started at the time
when the Gods reigned on Earth. One day
the Goddess of the Sun got very angry
for the incessant, senseless violence of
her brother and hid in a cave. |
 |
Therefore, the Earth fell into darkness.
The men wanted her to come out so they started to dance, sing, pray and play drums in front of the cave.
The show awakened the Goddess’ curiosity; she looked out, and immediately was grabbed and dragged out. Thus, light and heat came back to the Earth. |

"Taikos" exist in different sizes, up to a diameter of 2.50 metres.
It is played with thick sticks and wide movements, with much strength and energy but not violently; it has esthetical and symbolic purposes. |
