Kaminari UK Taiko Drummers: Playing the Galtres Centre, Easingwold, on Saturday
KAMINARI UK Taiko Drummers return to the Galtres Centre, Easingwold, on October 25 to perform Roku at 7.30pm.
In Saturday’s show, York’s Taiko drumming group promises a rhythmic musical journey through Japan, bringing this rich musical heritage to life in a fusion of sound, movement and spirit.
Roku blends the powerful, immersive energy of Taiko drumming with the evocative sounds of traditional instruments, including the koto and shamisen, played by special guest Michael Graham.

The show features traditional and regional styles of Taiko drumming, some reinvented for the stage, others original pieces created by Kaminari.
Kaminari UK Taiko Drummers rehearse in Shipton-by Beningbrough. Since the group’s inception in 2009, they have performed at festivals, charity events and private functions across Yorkshire and beyond.
Tickets cost £15 from the Galtres Centre website, galtrescentre.org.uk, or in person from the box office in Market Place, Easingwold.
