Taikoz - Live! at Darling Quarter Theatre with special guests Ninin Angya, Kodo’s Yoshikazu Fujimoto and Yoko Fujimoto
09 Jun 2018
As one of the greatest exponents of the Odaiko Grand Drum, Kodo Distinguished Member Yoshikazu has thrilled audiences worldwide for over 40 years. His playing is imbued with a deep, infectious and spiritual energy that is truly awesome in live performance!
And Yoko is a singer of such refinement, beauty and grace that one can’t help but be moved by the range of expression in her voice. Together as Ninin Angya, Yoshikazu and Yoko are a sublime musical team. Combined with the dynamic force of Taikoz, Live! At Darling Quarter Theatre will be a thrilling concert!
Ninin Angya
This is a duo project by Yoshikazu Fujimoto & Yoko Fujimoto, who are distinguished members of Kodo, Japan’s acclaimed taiko performing arts ensemble. “Ninin-Angya” means “a duo’s pilgrimage.”
Yoshikazu and Yoko met four decades ago as members of Kodo’s antecedent group, Sado no Kuni Ondekoza, and they have been married for over three decades. They have encountered many sounds and songs on Sado Island, on their travels, and throughout their years with Kodo. Thanks to their personal journeys as performers, coupled with their shared life experience, they create unique energy and feel-good sound whenever they perform together.
Their performances feature Sado Island folk songs, stories told through song, tunes from around Japan, and of course, taiko. As they share music and their love for the arts, they weave tales of their various experiences to date into the programme, which creates a warm, engaging performance every time.
