News: TAIKO Performance in The Mall, Gadong

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.
