Lovers of Japanese music will be able to enjoy a concert of traditional Japanese taiko drums performed by the band Wadaiko-Sai from Japan. The concert will be held in the capital's Bulgaria Hall at 7 p.m. as part of the Days of Japanese Culture in Bulgaria.

Taiko drums have an ancient history. It is believed that they were originally used as a means of prayer, and later, in the 6th-8th century, also as instruments for signaling astronomical time. The Wadaiko-Sai group was formed as an interest club at the University of Tokyo and is an all-male cast. The group entered the professional scene in 2013 and already has had more than 2,000 concerts behind him in over 30 countries around the world.

A concert by the Japanese group is also scheduled for November 7 on the stage of the State Opera in Stara Zagora.
