HIBIKIYA – Taiko Drumming Performance
HIBIKIYA – Taiko Drumming Performance
Join us on Casa’s Rotary Square for HIBIKIYA – Taiko Drumming Performance!
HIBIKIYA Bio:
Our Taiko drumming group, HIBIKIYA, was formed originally in 2007 under the Lethbridge
Community Taiko Association and then established itself independently under Southern Alberta
Taiko Society in 2014. There are presently ten members who belong to the group.
We are passionate about sharing our love of and respect for Taiko drumming in Lethbridge and
throughout communities in southern Alberta. We perform at many community events as well as in
schools. We share our knowledge of Japanese culture as it relates to Taiko drumming. We offer
workshops and hands on drumming experiences to the community. In order to learn and perfect
new songs we meet once a week for several hours to practice.
Our sensei, Bryan Pervereseff, makes annual trips to our sister city of Towada, Japan where he is an
honorary member of a Taiko group, Suijin Kamanari Daiko. He is taught and gifted songs which he
brings back for HIBIKIYA to learn and perform.
The Japanese translation of HIBIKIYA is “Echo Place”
This name was chosen to reflect the relationship between Suijin Kaminari Daiko, a group in Towada
City, Japan and our Sensei, Bryan Pereverseff.
