Matsuriza means “Festival of Drumming.” The group was established in 1983. Matsuriza demonstrates the traditional art of Japanese drumming known as “Taiko” and plays both traditional music as well as self-composed arrangements. The group’s dynamic style emphasizes speed, fluidity and power which combined with their choreographed movements creates a performance rich in sight and sound.

Matsuriza performs regularly in Walt Disney World and have decided to stay in Orlando FL to continue sharing Taiko music with audiences around the country.
