“Powerful, primal and exotic, but simultaneously lighthearted, fun and familiar.” – The New York Times “Wondrous beyond words…As fun to listen to as it is to watch.” – BroadwayWorld.com ICHIDA NYUKON, translated “One Beat. One Soul.”, is COBU’s newest electrifying percussion experience. The young, cutting edge Japanese ensemble presents a visual and musical feast for audiences of all ages. Using Japanese Taiko drums, African djembe drums, thick wooden drumsticks, hand-held wooden clappers and samisen (Japanese banjo), the group of seven women and two men, sporting dynamic traditional and modern costumes and dramatically dyed hair, take the audience on a journey through the senses with their highly charged performances.
