World renowned Japanese Taiko Drummers Ondekoza presented on Super Audio CD! Powerful and energetic performances, explosive dynamic intensity and power... Can your system handle it?
Japanese Import 6SACD Set housed in a beautiful slip-case jacket!
In its forty-plus year history, Ondekoza has been influential in spreading and popularizing taiko, particularly outside of Japan. Many of pieces arranged by Ondekoza have been incorporated into the repertoire of taiko groups around the world.
Ondekoza continually pursues greater means of expression through the use of taiko drums. By trimming the performance of all that is excessive, and playing to the limit of physical capabilities, Ondekoza believes that the sound of the drum alone is capable of striking a powerful impression. Ondekoza aims to create stage pieces that are enjoyable to children and adults alike.
Before each show, individual shime drums are tightened to the limit- a task requiring the synchronized strength of two members- in order to achieve the cutting sound that is representative of Ondekoza's style.
Utsu-Hachijo: War Drums from the Island of Hachijo:
400 years ago, after falling in the Battle of Sekigahara, Ukita Hideie was washed ashore on the island of Hachijo. Unable to escape, he was forced to spend his remaining life on the island. Replacing his swords with 'bachi', he is said to have drummed and sang to express his longing for his home.
Yatai-Bayashi:
Ancient islanders of southern Japan, set sail towards the north in search of a rumored Utopia. Drums were played on these boats in order to ease the fear of the rowers, who were constantly threatened by deadly storms and waves. This beat is said to be the origin of Yatai-Bayashi.
