Renshuu from the World in Union Concert

Many thanks to Umqombothi for hosting us at their World in Union concert! We had a great time playing for a full house. For those who couldn't make it, check out the piece that we played on the Tora Taiko Facebook page!

Titled "Renshuu", which means "practice" in Japanese, this piece features multiple techniques used in taiko playing, such as kara strokes and shouts.
