Why see Kodo Drummers?
Kodo Drummers Bring The Roar Of Taiko To The US
Experience the power and majesty of Taiko drumming as the internationally celebrated Kodo Drummers bring this ancient art form to the US. Taking their name from a Japanese word that can either mean 'heartbeat' or 'children of the drum', the group has performed on every continent, sewing the seeds of their spiritual message in their pulsating, driving rhythms.
Kodo upholds the idea that all people, nations and living things are connected and have thus taken inspiration from their travelling to create a unique fusion of traditional taiko and world music. The group is renowned for their athletic, intensely physical performances and their on-stage joyful energy is as palpable as the rolling thunder of their drums.
