YAMATO
The Drummers of Japan

YAMATO was founded by Masa Ogawa in 1993 in Nara, "the land of Yamato" which is said to be the birthplace of Japanese culture.  Presently based inAsukaVillage, NaraPrefecture,YAMATO travels all over the world, putting its very souls into the unusual instruments, whose sound stirs the hearts of people everywhere. Its performances are infused with the idea that the drumbeat, like the heartbeat, is the very pulse of life. YAMATO brings a new and youthful vigor to Taiko drumming. It is a never-to-be-forgotten experience, inspiring and intensely physical, with a beat resonating from the delicate tapping of falling rain to explosions of rhythmic exhilaration.
