It turns out, the best ideas can bubble up over hotpot. In one such restaurant in Taipei in 1986, a group of enterprising musicians birthed not just Taiwan’s first ever professional percussion band, but also the entire genre in the country. By now, Ju has played in more than 35 countries and nearly 155,000 musicians have perfected their craft at Ju’s 24 schools.
You don’t just hear this exhilarating percussive showcase, you feel it in your bones. East meets West in this group that features marimbas, xylophones, timpani, snare drums, gongs, ethnic hand drums, experimental instruments and more for a cross-disciplinary event that transcends the boundaries between classical, modern, world and pop. From the interlocking rhythm patterns of Balinese music to Taiwanese indigenous tribal legends and beyond, the movements of this show are a grand global tour that invite you to open your mind and unlock part of your soul.
