Karthika explores Taiko music from Japan which is the ancient Japanese form of percussion music using large drums that are played in an intense, rhythmic format. Taiko is part music part dance where drummers follow choreographed routines using their whole bodies. Taiko is believed to be the heartbeat of Japan that has visualized through its long deep cultural roots. And now thanks to its modern-day revival it is becoming a more universal musical language bridging cultural gaps around the world.
