One of the major substance on the bill will be the musical performance by Japanese musical giants-Taiko Drummers on the 18th October 2017 at the National Theater from 6-8pm. The event will be held again on the 20th October 2017 at the Alliance Francais from 7-9pm. The Band is led by Joji Hirota, a multi percussionist, drummer and a singer with over 30 years of experience and is credited with over 16 albums to his credit.

He uses his group to perform Charity concerts to support disaster affected areas in the world- notable amongst them was the Earthquake disaster of 2011.
