    They did an absolutely amazying performance where the audience was really involved by showing their reaction and participation - well worth my first experience thru ticket master

    Much better than expected

    by robock on 2009-12-08National Arts Centre - Ottawa

    They don't just play their music. They really perform it like a theater troop perform art. The play between the musician is amazing. They are fun to watch on the stage. They made the audience clap their hands to repeat the beat they play, similar to a "Chansons à réponses". They even played some shamisen and some koto. The shamisen with background drumming was fantastic. One slightly bad thing is that the sound of the flute-instrument was covered by the drum. It's only for one song though.

    Yamato was Amazing

    by Gingermouse on 2009-12-08National Arts Centre - Ottawa

    The most amazing, awesome, funny and entertaining show I've seen in months. The troupe was terrific, I've never seen anything like it before. I already told my family and friends about it, and I just saw it last night...

    Yamato: drumming to their own beat!

    by Taikoboy on 2009-12-08National Arts Centre - Ottawa

    A wonderful experience of a musical and physical nature. There is no way not to be moved by the awesome sounds, choreographies, and showmanship of this group. Apart from being incredible musicians, their honesty and genuine pleasure in playing shine through during the whole length of the show. I was lucky enough to meet the group members after the show: their humility was especially heartwarming. This is a must-see event for music, theatre, and world culture lovers alike!

    Yamato are Incredible

    by Anonymous on 2009-12-08National Arts Centre - Ottawa

    This is a must see act. The level of energy exuded and sheer entertainment value bogle the mind. This group of ten artistes produced an evening to remember. From the very first opening notes you knew that something special was about to happen. It was not all drums either as various different musical instruments were also showcased. At times there was a comical aspect as well that was well received. I have no hesitation in recommending this show and would certainly go see them again.

    Yamato mostly fierce and precise

    by LazerReuben on 2009-12-08National Arts Centre - Ottawa

    Yamato is a troupe of 10 members, 4 women and six men. One might think that the women would be somewhat outshone by the men due to the upper body strength required to play the larger drums. Thankfully, this proved NOT to be the case. The entire troupe was energetic, skillful, precise, primal, powerful and highly professional and humorous. The set comprised about 10 pieces, each between 7 and 15 minutes in length, utilizing in different pieces a variety of drums, a flute, 4 shamisens (Japanese 3-stringed instrument) and cymbals of several sizes. Some pieces were quite funny, some very powerful, some delicate, and some a combination. Excellent show all around.

    YAMATO

    by Peanut61 on 2009-12-08National Arts Centre - Ottawa

    Unbeleivable ! These musicians are amazing ! They had energy to give !! The strengh (not to mention their physical look) were of imaginable greatness ! They were syncronized and did not miss a beat ! We were sitting the 3rd row from the stage, but our friends were farther back and it didn't matter where you were sitting, the sound and the imense decor was seen by all. Great show ! Congrats !!
