Extraordinarily talented percussion artists, and seductive, alluring performers.
—Chicago Tribune
2023 is the 30th Anniversary of Drum Tao – since 1993, Drum Tao performances have touched more than nine million spectators across the world. Drum Tao features “Wadaiko,” or Taiko for short: large, unique sounding Japanese drums, as well as Japanese flutes and harps. Wadaiko performances are not to be missed! This is high-energy performance art that combines music, dance, martial arts, and culture with power, speed, and synchronicity, resulting in heart-pounding, dynamic group drumming. Based in Oita, Japan, Drum Tao has three teams that tour the globe and pride themselves on creating “Japanese entertainment” for a new generation.
