Drums of Tokyo

Description

In Japan, one cannot imagine any festivities without taiko, the drums whose deep tones give rhythm to popular emotions. In a performance brimming with power and refinement, the Oedo Sukeroku Ensemble recreates this celebratory atmosphere. Filmed during the Dragons exhibition in France and in the heart of Tokyo, this urban group immerses us in a marvelous, amazing rhythmic universe. Bonus features include an entertaining and educational interview with leader Kobayashi Seido on the tradition's history, and the drums.
