Kodo drums

Kodo is a Japanese drum troupe that has toured around the world starting in Berlin, 1981.



They have their base on Sodo Island in the Sea of Japan, where about 70 people live in a pretty intense environment. Here is a cool video from the Earth Day Celebration on Sado in August 2006. This is from Kodo's performance at Acropolis in Greece...

This is Kodo's official website with tour dates and info, and here is their blog (in Japanese). The dates for this summer's Earth Day Celebration haven't appeared yet.



Doesn't that look inviting!

I saw them perform on Maui. They were amazing.

There are taiko drum clubs on Maui (for young people) which perform at bon dances.
