Japan

KONKO TOIN HIGH SCHOOL WA-TAIKO CLUB "KOKYO"

In Japanese, «Kokyo» means the sound of taiko, a set of Japanese drums whose practice is similar to the performance of a martial art by the search for good sound and perfect synchronization between percussionists. This ancestral art features drums of all sizes, accompanied by the soft sound of the flute, as well as precise choreographies. This group from the University of Osaka rarely leaves its borders because of the difficulty of travelling with its material. It will, to our great joy, take over the stages of the region of Fribourg.

During the RFI, the artists from Japan will take part in the following events:
