Description: San Jose Taiko has been mesmerizing audiences with the powerful, spellbinding and propulsive sounds of the taiko drums since 1973. The troupe has broadened and embellished the historical Japanese art form into a style that also includes African, Balinese, Brazilian, Latin and jazz percussion. All compositions performed by San Jose Taiko are written or arranged by members of the group. Composing, choreographing, designing and producing costumes, and handcrafting of the drums are part of the holistic process in which all members participate. “Through this singleness of mind and spirit, harmony is achieved,” says founder Roy Hirabayashi, “and the music rings with unity and clarity.”
