YuNiOn – Japanese drumming

YuNiOn takes people on a fun, open and soulful journey through the high spirited energy of the Japanese taiko drum, blended with percussive sounds and festive song and dance.  YuNiOn was formed in 2005 by Masae Ikegawa and Graham Hilgendorf as a duet for taiko, percussion and more! Masae and Graham have toured extensively, performing throughout Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and America. They have composed and directed for the Sydney Festival First Night, events for Toyota and AMEX and DVD films as well as collaborations with The Satsuki Odamura Koto Ensemble and Yasukazu KANO from Japan.
