MUGENKYO Taiko Drummers, who have appeared on numerous television and radio programmes worldwide, will be coming to Bromsgrove's Artrix.
The UK’s first and only professional touring taiko group, they have appeared on the Brit Awards, BBC Last Night of the Proms, the Generation Game and has even featured in a Bollywood film.
Mugenkyo, who are performing at Artrix on Wednesday, October 8, present taiko 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.
The concert is extremely musically varied; powerful rhythms, huge taiko drums, delicate shinobue bamboo flute, expressive percussion, and dance.
Through their 15 years of rigorous touring, they have developed a style that is uniquely their own.
Retaining the traditional spirit of taiko, yet creating a thoroughly contemporary sound.
