Miniature devils in disguise
Above should be a short video of some kids from a small mountain village on Sado performing 'Oni daiko' (Pronounced oh knee da ee ko). 'Oni daiko' is a traditional dance performed at festivals all over the island at different times of the year. The story behind the tradition is that the devil's dancing (the dudes jigging around with the long wigs and masks on) scares away any evil spirits. Each little group will tour all of the houses, shops and even schools in the area and perform the same ritual at each building to bring good luck.

loved the video but sadly no sound
Hmm, the sound worked ok for me - I can hear the drums and flute. Have you tried any other you tube videos and had sound? If not, then there's plenty of advice about how to fix it, here for example.
