Artist Statement
Our aim is to make taiko a familiar art form to American audiences and encourage a greater appreciation and understanding of Asian American cultures. We believe taiko has the power to bring people together in harmony and community. In the spirit of kumidaiko (ensemble drumming), we strive to drum as ONE voice.
