This incredible taiko drumming ensemble has traveled all the way from the Mt. Fuji area of Japan. Fugaku Taiko, founded in 1977, presents more than 100 performances a year in Japan and around the world. They were also the first taiko group to discover the benefits of taiko therapy for mentally handicapped individuals, and their touring ensemble now features several handicapped players.
Fugaku Taiko's performance is sponsored by the Davidson College Union Board, the Japanese Teachers' Association of Charlotte & Gastonia, and Triangle Taiko.
The performance is made possible in part by the generous support of the Nippon Taiko Foundation. Fugaku Taiko is the first group from the Foundation to visit the Southeastern United States. Don't miss this great opportunity to enjoy the energy and artistry of professional Japanese taiko in your own backyard!
Please spread the word about this fantastic performance!

If anyone wants to go and needs a ride, let me know. My plan is to have dinner before the show about 6pm, then drive down there. If you would like to join then you are welcome.
I only have room for about 2 people, so please let me know in advance.
Also, everyone is welcome to dinner, not only if you are riding with me.
If anyone did go to this I'd like to know how you liked it. I couldn't get off from work with the notice I had so I was unable to go.
Hi, the performance was great! It was much better than I expected. I got excited!
I thought it was very well done. The speech the president lady gave was very touching.
I actually have a background in percussion of sorts, so it was very interesting for me to watch on a musical level as well.
The backflip guy was awsome :)
