Under the talented leadership of Takemasa Ishikura since 1988, the Matsuriza Taiko drum troupe is an undisputed fan-favorite in the many countries where it has performed. With a commitment to traditional music as well as fresh, new compositions, the group has earned the coveted resident spot in Walt Disney World's EPCOT Japan pavilion, where it performs weekly. Audiences feel the rhythm as they execute intricate, musical arrangements on giant drums in a dazzling display of pure, physical stamina. Matsuriza mesmerizes audiences with its rolling, clashing sound and dramatic choreography.
