Wadaiko Yamato 和太鼓倭 is a Japanese musical group of taiko drummers founded in 1993 by Masa Ogawa. In Japanese, the word 和太鼓 “wadaiko” translates as “Japanese drum” and “Yamato” was the former name of the city of Nara, the group’s birthplace. Since their creation, the group has made over two thousand, six hundred (2600) live performances to over one million people in more than 50 countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The group’s international debut was in 1998 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where the group was awarded the “Spirit of the Fringe” award.
