Nagata Shachu

Nagata Shachu Combining thunderous, primal drumbeats with subtle, intricate rhythms, this ensemble creates a mesmerizing evening of music “The physical intensity of their performance, as well as their mechanical efficiency and almost inhuman rhythmic accuracy, was unstoppable. That it could be done with such unique grace of movement and confidence is wholly unbelievable; “As the five-member taiko group took to the stage, the powerful sounds the slight drummers generated were astounding. At times, arms moved so quickly they were but a blur, and then they slowed, becoming majestic synchronized movements – perfect percolating percussion.”
