In collaboration with Kalamazoo RESA – Education for the Arts
Known for synchronized choreography, eclectic musicality and joyful spirit, San Jose Taiko performances are sought throughout the world.
Since 1973, the world-class ensemble has captivated global audiences and critics alike with the powerful, spellbinding and propulsive sounds of taiko. Often described as dancing with drums, performers express the beauty and harmony of the human spirit.
By studying with masters of other traditions and cultures, San Jose Taiko has broadened and embellished this historical art form into a distinct performance style that blends the traditional rhythms of Japanese drumming with the beat of world rhythms.
Additional support for this performance is provided by the Arts Fund of Kalamazoo County, a grant program of the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo.
