As meditative as it is thunderous, a taiko drum performance is one that few have the chance to experience, and no one ever forgets.

Uzume Taiko of Vancouver, BC has enthralled audiences nationally and internationally with its dynamic synthesis of music, movement and theatre for over 20 years. Using a diverse collection of percussive and melodic instruments as well as taiko drums, Uzume Taiko’s dynamic fusion of old and new brings a vibrant contemporary sensibility to an ancient art.

Internationally renowned, Uzume Taiko has performed in venues across Canada and throughout the United States, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan, with performances at the Japan America Theatre in Los Angeles, the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, Scotland, the Bath Festival in the UK and the Chautauqua Festival in New York State.

“One of the most remarkable percussion ensembles ever to hit the UK. Hugely inventive, ingenious and dangerously mesmerizing.” - Press and Journal, Scotland
