 The Gennosuke Matsumoto Troupe and Sanshinkai
Festival Drummers and Dancers of Tokyo and Okinawa
Friday 1st December 2006, 7pm, SOAS, London
This Friday 1st Dec, Gennosuke Matsumoto and his Troupe bring the vibrant matsuri-bayashi music and lion dancing of Tokyo to London.
Sanshinkai from Okinawa will also perform 'Eisa' - a Buddhist festival dance that sees hordes of young Okinawans processing joyously through the streets, drumming as they dance to the music of the banjo-like sanshin and other instruments.
Admission is FREE for this unique evening, but SEATING IS LIMITED.

[The following is the condensed December edition of the New England Taiko Kai newsletter] The holiday season is upon us and a lot is going on in Maine and Massachusetts. ONE’s Crossroads concert went well, and they are now preparing for a slew of smaller performances in December and January, all part of cultural events with many other fun performances and activities. In just a week, Bowdoin Taiko in Maine will appear alongside the college’s dance groups, debuting a new song composed by the club’s director, Doran Rivera. At the same time, the Maine Thunder Spirits will perform in Sanford Christmas Parade. And make sure not to miss the kakizome calligraphy performance (with taiko accompaniment) by Koji Kakinuma on Dec 9. This guy looks amazing. Check out the press release: http://www.kakinumakoji.com/information/perform_pu_info_english.html If you want to ask about any of these events, get added to our mailing list, or add events to the calendar, email me at
