Magical Japan journey between artistic drum storm and delicate bamboo flute tones
One of the greatest drum shows in the world
Acclaimed Japanese drum show Kokubu thrills with furious rhythms and powerful athleticism
Following the terrific audience and critical success of their 2019, 2020 and 2023 German guest performances, Kokubu- The Drums of Japan's new show "SOUND OF LIVE" Tour 2024 includes even more dates. The tour schedule takes the ensemble through Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium.
When the Japanese troupe makes a guest appearance in Europe from mid-January to mid-March, it will guarantee a musical drum fireworks display in around 50 cities. Then every visitor can convince himself of "an event, of rare intensity" (Soester Anzeiger), what was written in many reviews: "Drummers cause storms of enthusiasm" (Badische Zeitung), "Everyone was fascinated." (Fränkische Nachrichten) or "Standing ovations for powerful drummers" (Schwäbische Zeitung). Such unanimous euphoria is based on good reasons. The actors practice "the high art of Taiko playing" (Westdeutsche Zeitung) Besides the authentic and hypnotically - fascinating energy of this spectacular show, KOKUBU pursues another approach: the profound spirituality of Japan is made tangible with every note.
In 2024, two large O - Daiko drums will be used, giving the group an even more impressive performance. A new stage design and a spectacular lighting concept round off this extraordinary drumming event.
