Prized for its percussive power and theatrical flair, Yamato creates music filled with the fierce, ancient sound of Japanese taiko drums that were traditionally played at sacred Shinto ceremonies and to spur soldiers to battle. On stage with more than 40 drums, this rousing group, applauded by the Boston Globe for its “keen sense of drama, humor, and verve,” stirs the pulse and spirit. Yamato has performed over 4,000 shows in 54 countries around the world since their founding in 1993.
