It is one rainy rainy week.
Two fridays ago, I watched Tao, a Japanese drum performance, at Resorts World Manila with my parents. I love the overall performance. Their costumes were so clean and perfect. It was a samurai-inspired outfit in the shades of black, violet and dark gray. Their movements while performing were so fluid as if they were dancing. I think their moves were martial arts, actually. And the sound of the percussion instruments was just magnificent! Whenever they played, I could feel Pre-modern Japan around me. There were times that I think the music were reminiscent of wartime because of the Taiko. I think their lead drummer was a girl in heels. Aside from the percussions, they also used the flute and koto, a Japanese string instrument. I never new that percussion and wind instruments sounded so good together. Also, I loved their concept of interacting with the crowd. (Click the link below, the one I'm referring to is the woman in white) If they perform in your country, you should watch.
Here's a link to their website. But it will redirect you to the photo gallery.
