Wa San Bon Live
7 Mar 2014 7:00 PM
Come and immerse yourselves in an ocean of rhythm with the sound of the magnificent Japanese ‘Taiko’ drums.
Wa San Bon, a group comprising of three of the leading Japanese taiko drummers from Japan, will blow you away with their profound yet funky beats. The leader/composer of WSB, ‘Reach’ Yamauchi, has trained in both Western and Japanese classical and traditional music, playing both the taiko drums and the shamisen (a traditional 3-stringed instrument), and he also sings in the traditional folk style. Hide Yura and Kenji Futurate, both highly experienced performers acclaimed internationally, also present their compositions in taiko and percussion. The three together will showcase their intricate and sublime music skills in an unforgettable performance.
Their repertoire is a perfect match of the best of both worlds: West and East, tradition and innovation, producing a rare mix of sounds that are deep and sharp, disciplined and fluent. This show is something you most likely will never have experienced before and promises to exceed expectation.
