TAIKO DRUMS (4 September 2014)
Japan's taiko drums - made in many shapes and
sizes, played at various occasions - are an ancient
heritage. Originally taiko were an integral part of
festivals and rituals, used to summon the gods.
In recent years, taiko drumming has been admired as a
form of music in its own right. Our guest this time is
Hitoshi Mogi, a taiko expert at the National Theatre who
has exhaustive knowledge of Japanese drumming traditions.
And in Plus One, getting in shape with taiko!
