Taiko drummers at the Matsuri: A Festival of Japan here in Phoenix, AZ. The poor microphone on the camera doesn't do well in picking this up as it was an amazing performance. Not just the music, but the movements and precision of the whole routine. There's a lot of discipline at play here on many levels. This piece takes a bit from a buddist chant for those leaving to war that they built off of to create a new routine.

  • I remember this...I use to go there when I was lil.

  • Clarification: the chant is Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido. It is an affirmation of self and nature. The drum piece is 'Inori' a prayer for those left behind in war, one of the five parts of the Suigun Daiko suite from Matsuyama written in the early 1970's in honour of the Kono clan navy of the 1600's.
