caught the performance drum tao 2016, hyakkaryoran hanabi last evening with m.y. and bee. i thoroughly enjoyed it although i must say it wasn't as impactful as compared to the first one i caught a couple of years back. nonetheless, it was really good to see toned bare-bodied men drumming away so passionately. the performances were all testosterone-charged. it was also refreshing to find the performances interspersed with softer flute-led dances. these men were really talented as they switched so naturally from drums to string instruments and from martial arts to dance. every act and every segment had a good combination of yin and yang elements. i was so fascinated by it.
and ooooo, i must say this - that there is something really really sexy about it when such lean muscled men kneel down in obeisance and absolute surrender as acted out in some of the scenes. and it was so mesmerising to see these men so engrossed and lost in themselves as they danced with their drums. it was a extra plus for me that most of the men were so cute... and of cos, there was not a single trace of effeminate behaviour from any one of them. they were all soooo man! (unlike many, if not all, of the local artists... ok, i'm just being bitchy)... lol!
very nice!
ps: i must add this little observation that didn't work too well for me - their armpit hair was so bloody distracting and it was such a turn-off...
