Prepare to be swept away by a captivating fusion of tradition and innovation! TAIKOPROJECT isn’t your typical taiko group; they present a dynamic contemporary mix of taiko, music, storytelling, and choreography. Inspired by Benzaiten, the Japanese goddess of everything that flows, this performance seamlessly weaves percussive power and strength with graceful elements. Experience the thunderous resonance of authentic taiko drums alongside the delicate tones of bamboo flutes and the ethereal sounds of the koto.

“This ain’t your mama’s taiko, but it may be your hip, younger cousin’s.”
