LYNDONVILLE- The Northeast Kingdom got a look at a different culture, the Drum Tao a Japanese inspired drum and dance ensemble made there way from Japan to the Northeast Kingdom.

Drum Tao formed in 1993, in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
In 1995 they moved to Aso Kuju National park where they have been based every since.
According to Drum Tao's Marketer over a decade ago the group wanted to mesh the classical musical art form of drumming with modern-day entertainment and that's just what they did.
In addition to moving to the national park Drum Tao established the original staff of the production office in various national and international locations.

Drum Tao has done more then forty tours around the world and this is the fourth tour they are doing in North America.
This is the first time they have gotten to perform in the Northeast Kingdom and quite the crowd showed up to Lyndon Institute last night.

"I think it's magnificent to spend the evening sort of steeped in a different culture and have the opportunity to let go and relax," spectator Nicole LaPointe said.

Drum Tao's next show is April 3rd in Red Bank, New Jersey.
