As part of the Malta International Arts Festival, Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers are presenting taiko (a form of Japanese drumming) in a modern and theatrical style with precise choreography, dramatic lighting and a variety of costumes ranging from the post-apocalyptic industrial to gorgeous earthy silks.
Through their 20-odd years of rigorous touring, Mugenkyo have developed a style that is uniquely their own. Retaining the traditional spirit of taiko, yet creating a thoroughly contemporary sound, Mugenkyo are forging a new path with their innovative approach.
The concert is extremely varied and includes powerful rhythms, huge taiko drums, delicate shinobue bamboo flute, expressive percussion and dance peppering the show.
The show is being held tonight at 9.30pm at Pjazza Teatru Rjal, Valletta. For tickets, log on to www.maltaartsfestival.org.
