Kiyoshi Nagata
One would think that there isn't a lot of physical work involved with hitting a drum. You hit it. You use some arm muscles, shoulders, maybe your back. The 4 women and 2 men that performed last night proved my idea completely wrong.
I have never seen anything so heart-pounding. I could feel the beats in my body. From doing the splits and using all of one's body to hit, to pounding so hard where the audience can see every single muscle in that moving body, to an unimaginable amount of dexterity, it was exhausting just watching these folks do their thing.
Stunning. Really. There aren't enough superlatives to explain.
Kiyoshi Nagata Ensemble...if they come to a venue near you, DEFINITELY go.

Extraordinary. Wonderful. I can only imagine how every muscle in their bodies moved to hit those drums. Well actually I can. I did see a similar group perform at an Art Fest in London. I remember that night pretty good because I was rollerblading with a friend and I couldn't stop myself so I slammed into her friend that we saw at the Art Fest. Then we watched them perform. Awesome!
