לאחר מסע אימונים ביפן וטאיוון, נולד מופע של הקבוצה הראשונה והיחידה בישראל לתיפוף זן ותיפוף יפני.
מופע מבוסס על יסודות אומנויות הלחימה, מצב תודעה מדיטטיבי, עוצמה ואנרגיה אדירה.
הקבוצה מנגנת על תופי Taiko ענקים בתנוחות נגינה שונות, במקצבים ותנועה שחודרים ללב, המעוררים ומחברים אותנו חזרה למקור.
The Taiko Life performances deliver to the listener a unique experience of power and unity, awareness and reflection channeled through four senses: the auditory, visual, physical and spiritual. The powerful taiko drumming pieces combine deep examination of musical rhythms with knowledge of movement from the world of martial arts in meditative consciousness.
