Founded by Liz Walters in the year 2000, the group has performed at many events around the UK.
Tamashii Daiko's performance consists of a range of traditional Japanese Taiko styles with special preference to the unique Hokkuriku (West coast of Japan) style. The players, whilst maintaining the intensity within the tight rhythmic unison, are allowed to explode into their own unique and colourful solos throughout the songs. The combination of uniformity and the individual freedom of expression is what give Tamashii Daiko its strength as a team and character as a performance group.
This group brings highly visual and powerful performances to festivals, theatres, private functions and promotional events around the country. All the members of Tamashii Daiko often perform with the amazing Japanese composer/percussionist Joji Hirota
The group have touched the hearts of many people, showing that Taiko is not only drumming, but also an emotion the whole body can experience. Tamashii Daiko have helped to promote Taiko as a performance art and continue to bring inspiration and cultural celebration through their energetic and dynamic performances.
