The Japan Foundation, Manila (JFM), the SM Supermalls, and Cebu Pacific Air, together with the Embassy of Japan, The Manila Bulletin, Yoshinoya, and ClickTheCity.com bring back Yamato: Drums of Japan. This special three-night engagement is for the celebration of Philippines-Japan Friendship Month.

Yamato will be performing on 8th July 2010 at the SM Mall of Asia Center Stage (special gala invitational), 9th July 2010 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall (MAP), and 10th July 2010 at the SM North EDSA Sky Dome (MAP).

Yamato is one of the best taiko ensembles from Japan, formed in 1993 by Ogawa Masaki in Yamato-no-kuni — the present day Nara Prefecture. The group is composed of 17 members who combine traditional Japanese musical formats with modern rhythms and themes.
