With its powerful synthesis of music, movement and theatre, Uzume Taiko has won fans throughout the world. Using a diverse collection of percussive and melodic instruments as well as taiko drums, Uzume Taiko has developed a dynamic fusion of old and new styles of drumming — bringing a vibrant, contemporary sensibility to an ancient art.

Uzume Taiko has collaborated with numerous artists over the years, spanning musical genres from Mainstream Rock/Pop acts to western classical symphonies to Scottish highland pipers and Hammond B-3 organ.

The Group’s desire to take artistic risks, and fuse its music with a myriad of like-minded fearless collaborators, has made for a unique, and refreshing musical experience unlike any other in Canada. To see Uzume Taiko is an experience. With the choreographed physicality of martial arts, the heart-stopping pulse of the O-Daiko and the rhythmic sensitivity of a jazz ensemble, the drummers of Uzume Taiko put on an exhilarating performance.
