KODO Drummers of Japan March 17, 2011

"The heart of the beat - Kodo goes as far back as the cave for its intoxicating pulses." — Chicago Tribune

The primal force of Kodo's taiko drumming is spectacular to see, hear, and feel. As the world's most popular and celebrated Japanese drum ensemble, Kodo strikes a balance between the athletic pageantry and spiritual beauty of taiko to create an unforgettable experience. The music is both rhythmically complex and dynamically nuanced—from its smallest drum to the half-ton o-daiko drum, carved from a single, massive tree trunk. Kodo resonated with a sold-out Richmond audience in 2007—don't miss this chance to hear the masters of taiko and feel the heart of Japan.
