You're reading: Yamato drummers

Created in 1993 almost by accident for a one-off performance, this impressive group of musicians now gives 200 performances a year.

The 17-member band of male and female drummers is a regular guest in Kyiv, but have never failed to amaze.

With a range of drums accompanied by elements of dance and theater, their performances are so full of energy that sometimes it seems like they can power the city.

All of their tours last year and this year are devoted to the victims of the devastating earthquakes that hit Japan in 2011.

Yamato drummers. Palats Ukraina. March 31. 7 p.m. Hr 150-1,200
