Overview

A Harmony Week Event

Come along and listen to Sanshi play the shinobue and taiko. Shinobue is a Japanese side-blown bamboo flute that has a high-pitched but melodic sound. Traditionally shinobue plays an important part in the music festivals, folksongs, Shinto ritual and theatre performances of kabuki. The taiko or drum has been part of Japanese culture for centuries. When hit hard with bachi, taiko can produce sounds topping 130 decibels, a sound level on par with a jet plane! Sanshi will also guide you through some songs, moves and dances.

Target audience: all ages

Venue: Booyi room, Dordaak Kepup Library & Youth Innovation Hub
