【The sound of revived drums】
December 1 (Sun)
At the Kobe Town residents charity performance, from Nishiokoppe Village
I played the Uensiri Drum.

He performed one short song of about 6 minutes.
From winter to Spring, it represented the scene of Mt. Uensiri waking up from the melting snow.
I am very happy to have received warm applause and words of support from many.

Because it's a big deal
I would like to tell you a little about the history of the revival of Japanese Drums in Nishiokoppe Village.

Japanese Drum performances began in Nishiokoppe Village in the 1980s.
At that time, the beaters were the Local Youth Group. The powerful sound of the young people enlivened the festivals.

The song that was played from that time was "Uensiri Drum".
At that time, the song was composed by an elementary school teacher, and it was played until about 2000.

After that, from the dissolution of the youth group, etc.
The Drums, who were no longer beating, slept for a long time without being played.

Along the way, there was a period when a volunteer Japanese Drum Circle was active, but it became difficult to Kiss a lecturer due to the corona vortex, and the sound of the Drum stopped completely.

The movement took place in August of this year.
"When the performing arts are revived, let's revive the drums as well."
Former drummers and Village people who excelled in music analysis joined forces to learn the Uensiri Drum.

Although it was a group of amateurs, it was made up of seven enthusiastic people.
The Uensiri Drum roared again.

After that, several Village residents who heard the performance at the performance party joined the group and continue their activities to this day.

I had a and connection with him, and I was able to have the opportunity to perform at the Kobe Town residents' charity performance. Although it is a group that has only been formed for a short time, we are approached from inside and outside the Village in this way, and we put a lot of effort into practice.

It's been a bit long.
I think it takes a lot of energy to start something that has been interrupted and continue to do so.

I would be happy if the members continued to enjoy their activities and conveyed this to the listeners.
