The free-entry event is open to the public. The highlight of the event is the Japanese drum concert by the Japanese drumming group “Sai” and the UAE drumming group “Kharsha”.

“Sai” is a young professional Japanese group that has performed in Japan and 25 other countries. One of the members of “Sai” spent his childhood in the UAE and graduated from the Japanese School in Abu Dhabi. Later, he returned to his second hometown, Abu Dhabi, to study at Zayed University. While studying, he and his Emirati friends formed the local Japanese drumming group “Kharsha”, which has been actively performing at various events, including the Expo 2020 Dubai.

“Sai” and “Kharsha” will perform together on the same stage, symbolising the cultural friendship between the two nations.
