Famous Japanese drum troupe to perform in Hanoi and Hoi An

Osuwakaido, one of the top three professional drum troupes in Japan, is set to perform in Hanoi and Hoi An on 22 August and 24 August respectively.

Osuwakaido, one of the premier professional drum troupes in Japan, is set to perform in Hanoi and Hoi An on 22 August and 24 August 2025, respectively.

Founded in 1951, Osuwakaido has toured extensively around the globe. A significant highlight of their career was their grand performance during the National Celebration for the 20th Anniversary of His Majesty The Emperor’s Accession to the Throne in Japan in 2009. In 2011, they garnered significant attention by participating in the 1st International Tea Festival in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam. More recently, they have continued to engage audiences worldwide with their innovative performances.

What sets Osuwakaido apart is their use of multiple drums to create an orchestrated sound. They draw from ancient rhythms, deconstructing them to create new arrangements and compositions that highlight their ensemble of drummers.

During their second tour of Vietnam, Osuwakaido will perform at the Youth Theatre (11 Ngo Thi Nham Street, Hanoi) on 22 August and at Song Hoai Square in Hoi An on 24 August. Both performances are free of charge, but tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. In Hanoi, tickets will be available starting at 2:00 PM on Friday, 8 August 2025, at the Japan Foundation Center for Cultural Exchange in Vietnam (27 Quang Trung, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi).
