World Stage Coordinator
Although while they travel the world they carry the motto, "Go anywhere if invited and make the world a little more happy," this show entitled Gamushara, "The Beat of Courage," will certainly in some measure take on a more somber note, as it is dedicated to the remembrance of the Tsunami and Earthquake that struck Japan in the spring of 2011.
Yamato's interactive show includes a mix of choreography, singing, comedy, and of course drumming on traditional Japanese drums in a style called Taiko. Taiko can literally be translated to 'drum,' and it refers to a wide variety of traditional drums. For the show at the Union Theater, be prepared to experience the whole arsenal; Yamato's almost two dozen performers will be playing all kinds of drums from small hand drums, to the largest drum weighing in at over 1,000 lbs! Come see them on Thursday, Oct 27, at 8:00 pm in the Wisconsin Union Theater. Buy your tickets here!
