Taiko (太鼓?) means "drum" in Japanese (etymologically "great" or "wide drum"). Outside Japan, the word is often used to refer to any of the various Japanese drums (和太鼓, 'wa-daiko', "Japanese drum", in Japanese) and to the relatively recent art-form of ensemble taiko drumming (sometimes called more specifically, "kumi-daiko" (組太鼓).
To all BJFA-UBD Chapter members, there will be a Taiko performance in The Mall, Gadong this coming Thursday (4/12/2008) afternoon from 4.30 p.m to 5.30 p.m, be there early :-) The Taiko performance is brought in by The Embassy of Japan in Brunei Darussalam.
