The most attractive Japanese percussionists, drummers Yamato, last year delighted the audience at the Sava Center with its unusual and comic performances and therefore scheduled another appearance, 28 February in the Belgrade Arena as a part of the tour called Gamushara – The Beat of Courage.

Central to the Yamato productions are of course Vadaiko drums. It is the drums from animal skins and wood of ancient trees, some of which are over 400 years old. They are like a heartbeat or pulse (Shin-on). They are the essence of life and source of strength that emanates from human body. Yamato tries to create the energy of life that is transmitted to the audience. What audience feels when surrounded with Vaidako sound produced by powerful bodies of performers, is what Japanese call "Tamashi" - a `soul`, `spirit`, `psyche ', which is the basic element of life. This is something invisible, but whose presence is certainly felt. Pulse, which is transmitted from the ancient days, echoes in all bodies of people who gather in the halls around the world. This is a stage show that celebrates life.

To date, the Yamato drummers have had over 300 performances in 45 countries. In 1994 their four concerts in China gathered 20,000 visitors. Yamato performed at the Edinburgh Festival, the biggest art event in the world. They sold out 23 concerts, received an award from Spirit of the Fringe. The British media called them "music of the body." After these stepping-stones their world tour began, which lasts for 12 years now.
