Japanese musicians will perform in a concert at Hanoi's Youth Theatre on April 9.

The concert will have rock music accompanied by traditional Japanese musical instruments played by six members of the Bati-Holic band. In the one-night concert, the artists will perform fusion music, combining the traditional flute Shinobue and the percussion instrument Wadaiko.

Established in 2004 in Kyoto, the cradle of culture and tradition, the Bati-Holic members met each other while learning to play the Japanese drum at an art school.

They performed in festivals in Japan and learned a variety of traditional dances and songs which have been handed down through generations across Japan.

Based on local performing arts around the country, the band plays original Japanese music with its arrangements focusing on the appeal of the Japanese drum. The Bati-Holic group's style is oriented towards using traditional musical instruments.

The group has performed in the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea and Chinese Taiwan. They performed in Ho Chi Minh City in 2012.-VNA
