In celebration of the 50th anniversary of ASEAN-Japan friendship, a spectacular performance from Yamato The Drummers of Japan dazzled its captive audience at The Theatre at Solaire last June 10, presented by The Japan Foundation, Manila in partnership with the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines and JT International. It would be the first in a series of three shows of their phenomenal 2023 Philippine Tour, which would include a performance in Davao.
Providing coverage of the event, arkadymac.com’s correspondent Anmu got to see the superb Japanese drummers perform live as they captivated the audience with a unique and mesmerizing experience that transcends language barriers. Indeed, YAMATO THE DRUMMERS OF JAPAN Live! showcased their rhythmic mastery of taiko drums, wind instruments, stringed instruments and captivating stage presence to everyone. It really felt like not only did the drummers of Japan move the audience with their captivating performance but also instilled a sense of unity and inspiration, a reminder of the transcendent power of music to connect people across borders.
