Drum Tao presents “The Best” at The Luckman Fine Arts Complex at Cal State L.A., 5151 State University Dr., Los Angeles, on Saturday, March 28, at 8 p.m.
Renowned for powerful and athletic drumming, Drum Tao returns to The Luckman with their newest show, which blends traditional wadaiko (Japanese drums) with modern energy and theatrical flair. Drum Tao shows feature vibrant costumes, dramatic synchronized drumming and movement with a variety of traditional Japanese instruments including flutes and harps alongside the massive taiko drums.
They have captivated audiences worldwide, selling out shows in 26 countries and garnering critical acclaim and accolades along the way. After a sold-out run on Broadway, Newsweek praised the company: “The highly acclaimed debut of Drum Tao on Broadway represents not only Japanese entertainment, but Japan itself.”
Drum Tao, which also appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” has received numerous prestigious honors, including the Outstanding Cultural Contribution Award from Oita Prefecture, the Culture Creators Award from Taketa City, the sixth Japan Tourism Agency Commissioner Award, and the Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Award from the Government of Japan.
Parking is in Structure Lot C and Structure E on campus. Snacks, beer and wine will be available for purchase.
