Taikoproject + Zenshin Daiko - Omiyage
Nov. 14th, 2008 10:43 amIt's not all that big of a stretch to move from the music of Bamboo Orchestra, which has its roots in Japanese percussion, with that of daiko, which is Japanese percussion.
Taikoproject, an American ensemble that blends contemporary touches with traditional music, has another performance of Omiyage on video, and it is the one I originally wanted to present here, but it had the embedding disabled, so I dug a bit deeper and you get this different - although still excellent - performance with a bigger ensemble combining the forces of Taikoproject with Zenshin Daiko:
There are two DVD collections by Taikoproject, the first is TAIKOPROJECT:(re)generation Special Edition Taiko DVD
. The second, TAIKOPROJECT: Rhythmic Relations 2006 Special Edition Taiko DVD
, features performances by other taiko groups as well as Taikoproject.
