Yamato the Drummers of Japan are making their way to Bunbury on their Australian tour later this year to cast a spell on fans with their inspiring drumming and infectious dance rhythms.
One of the most prolific touring Japanese performing art groups, Yamato will stop in Sydney, Queensland, Perth and Adelaide on their tour in September and October this year with one show only at the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre on Monday, October 2.
The show features Yamato’s newest display of originality in the form of The Challengers tour which offers an anthem of encouragement to all to pursue life’s challenges with courage.
Since 1993, the group have performed in more than 50 countries around the world, playing to more than six million people. They are the epitome of the Japanese spirit and bring new life to the traditional Japanese taiko and wadaiko drums.

Beginning with the boom of a taiko drum made from a large 400 year-old tree, performers move their whole bodies to strike the drum with a powerful surge of energy that uplifts audiences in sync with the rhythm and intensity.
The group get their name from the community they live in together, located in a village called Asuka which is the birth place of Japanese culture. They create everything that is used or enacted in the performance themselves, including the musical compositions, lighting design, choreography and performance techniques, and pride themselves on their expression of the ancient Japanese spirit.
