The sound of the drum is a direct link to the roots of sound itself.
Echoes of the heart? Resonance of the mind? Well, oddly enough, no. Those just aren't the right words to describe the beat of the drum. Exceeding all human nature such as rationality, intelligence, or even feeling, the beat of the drum reaches deeper and deeper within. The sound of the drum is totally mystical, even to Bonten leader Masataka Kobayashi. "Our ancient ancestors began to beat on things, instinctively, long before they even established the concept of sound. Why do we drum? Ha ha... no one has the answer to that question. There's no reason. It's just something that has to do with genesis of life and it's very energy", he says. Perhaps this is one of the keys to explain the unchaining factor in their music. Listeners are freed from all contemplations that bound the modern mind, and are urged to just stomp to the beat of the earth. It is not easy to sit through this music. Bonten was formed as a male-female Japanese Taiko drum tag-team in August 2000. The group's name was taken from the name of the Buddhist God "Bonten" who is regarded as the personification of the fundamental universal principle. Pursuing the traditional Japanese Taiko drumming style, but never on the defensive, they have created a strong stage presence with their original tunes, and collaboration with other instruments and even orchestras. Their energy-filled performance is based on the concept "Joy of Powerful Living". Their female drummers add a tender, elegant touch to their act, which makes them an even more unique Japanese Taiko drum unit, attracting much attention. Over the years, they have successfully toured the seven continents of the world, namely Europe, America, Asia, Africa and others. This is their much-anticipated follow-up to their debut album "Bonten". The new album is a vivid snapshot of the present tense Bonten, showing how they've evolved through their live performances. |

鼓声是人们直接体会声音根本的一种媒介。
是心脏的回声吗？是思想的共鸣吗？很奇怪地，都不是！它们都不是描写鼓声的正确词汇。打击乐声超越人类的理性、智力甚至情感，能不断深入、再深入地触及人的心灵。鼓声是非常神秘的，即使对于梵天的乐队长小林政高也如此，他说：“我们古老的祖先在他们建立声音的定义之前，很早就开始本能地敲打物体。为什么我们要击鼓呢？呵呵……没人能回答这个问题。没有原因。但它应该和生命根本性的能量有关。”也许这就是解释他们音乐中给人以释放感的那些元素的关键。听众从日常思维的束缚中被解放出来，并被地球心脏的跳动所驱使，不自主地强烈渴望着跺踏起来。听这个音乐的过程中，你是很难一直就那么坐着的。
梵天是成立于2000年8月的一个日本鼓的男女多人组合，乐队的名字取自佛教天神“梵天”——其被看作万物之源的化身【大梵天是印度神话中世界万物的创造者，他的地位相当于中国的盘古】。他们一方面沿袭日本传统太鼓的风格，同时又使用具有创意精神的曲调、并和其他乐器甚至是管弦乐的协作，创造出非常强有力的舞台效果，他们充满活力的表演是构筑在“有力生存的欢乐”这一概念之上的。其中的女性鼓手为他们的表演增添了温柔优雅的格调，这使得他们的组合成为更为独特的日本鼓团队，吸引了更多人的关注。这几年，他们穿行于包括欧、美、亚、非等在内的世界七大洲，并成功地演出。这是他们继首张专辑《梵天》之后，一部让人翘首期盼的精心之作。新专辑是梵天组合现在时的生动写照，浓墨重彩地展现了他们在经历了众多现场表演后演变出来的模样。
