Free Music Notes for TAIKOPROJECT:(re)generation Special Edition Taiko DVD
Free Music Review: totally enjoyed this DVD, which showcases a variety of taiko styles with energy and humor
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a delightful group. Energetic and cheerful and powerful. An assortment of styles are presented--a fusion with American scat and hip/hop, San Francisco style, San Jose style, etc. I really loved the duet that included two of the male drummers in "fundoshi"--a white, twisted sort of thong that exposes the beauty of these athletic physiques and is not at all hard on the female eyes. :) Oh, sorry, where was I? heh...
And the performance of, oh--er--i forgot the title, but it's this WONDERFUL dance-with-drumming sequence with male and female performers taking turns with the Odaiko as well as clacking their bachis (drumsticks) as they go through a dancing routine that includes kneeling and stylized armwork. Very pretty.
The special features includes a subtitled look at the sort of verbal notation of sounds used by the drummers, including pauses. It is a resource for taiko drummers to replicate the performance. Very interesting.
For those who enjoy dance and theater, there is a piece with a stylized lion costume inhabited by a performer (and he does a terrific job) with two other masked dancers threatened by the beast--but with humor--as drummers do their thing in the background.
A beautiful sequence of excellent drumming and fine performances. I will watch this repeatedly. And I apologize that my knowledge of drumming and Japanese culture is so limited that I cannot do the descriptions justice. Just trust me and watch it. Lovely.
