Eisa teams are groups that perform traditional Okinawan dance and music, particularly during the Obon festival, which honors deceased ancestors. These teams typically consist of drummers, dancers, and musicians who come together to celebrate and preserve the cultural heritage of Okinawa, Japan. The performances often feature vibrant costumes and energetic movements, creating a lively atmosphere. The main instrument used in Eisa performances is the taiko, a large drum that provides a rhythmic foundation for the dance. Eisa teams often practice throughout the year, participating in local festivals and competitions to showcase their skills and foster community spirit.
