Taikoz 4Tet Live! »Taikoz 4Tet Live!« is an exciting program that begins with Waves – Ian Cleworth’s mesmerising, virtuosic 2-tone slung-drum solo – and continues to burn in energy until the uplifting finale - Joe Small’s choreographic drumming spectacle, Propel. From the small, high-pitched shimedaiko to the deep bass tones of the odaiko, Taikoz’s taiko combine with soulful singing and spirited movement to create a varied and entertaining concert suitable for all ages.
