Taiko (太鼓） - Traditional Japanese music

[NCTaikoDrumboy]

So where is this performance taking place, and what is the name of the performing group here?

[Sephiroth21682]

@NCTaikoDrumboy this is in Machida Tokyo, and I'm not sure what the name of the group was.

@Sephiroth21682 Too bad about not knowing the group's name. They're probably one out of hundreds of all-volunteer local groups. Thanks for the video anyway.

i love those japanese songs where it appears a guy saying "YOOoooo" if you dont know what i'm talking about, check naruto jiraya's theme song

[NCTaikoDrumboy]

@HappyBuddha100 In case you're wondering about those seemingly wordless shouts utilized by taiko drummers, they're called "kakegoe" (kah-kay-GO-eh). They serve as cues to change tempo, a heads-up when a new rhythm section is about to begin, or to encourage the drummers to keep going. This last usage usually happens when a taiko song is building to a climax. I hope this info proves helpful.

Last Sunday May 31st 2009, I went to the Japan Day celebrated in Central Park. It was my fist time to see a lot of things about Japan. I listened the Taiko songs. I would like to know the name of this song that I heard this day.

Domo Arigato.
