Aber Taiko bring their Taiko, a Japanese drumming art form that combines movement, rhythm and melody with large drums, to the Swansea Grand Theatre.
Aber Taiko are bringing their Japanese drumming to the Swansea Grand Theatre on Saturday 6 March, with the show starting at 19:30. It's called Rhythm of the Dragon, and it's a showcase of Taiko, the Japanese drumming art form that's rooted in tradition but keeps evolving.
If you've never come across it, Taiko isn't just about the sound. It's a choreographed feast for the senses that brings together movement, rhythm and melody. The massive drums create vibrations you feel through your body, which the group describes as reminiscent of the beating of the heart. It's as much about the physical presence of the drums as it is about the music they make.
Aber Taiko are a drumming group based right here in Abertawe, founded in 2015. For over a decade, they've been taking 'big drum' Taiko performances to local festivals, large-scale running events and prestigious venues, and they've collaborated with leading artists and teachers from around the globe along the way. This show is their exploration of the art form brought to a local stage.
