Taikoza: The Thunderous Voice of Tradition

 

Taikoza, a unique Taiko group, is a powerful embodiment of the ancient art of Japanese drumming. The name “Taikoza” translates to “big drums,” and that’s exactly what this group brings to the stage - big drums, powerful rhythms, and an electrifying energy that fills the room.

The Magic of Taikoza

Taikoza is not just about the drums. The group also incorporates the magical sounds of bamboo flutes, known as Shakuhachi and Fue, into their performances. These traditional Japanese instruments add a melodic layer to the thunderous beats of the Taiko drums, creating a musical experience that is both thrilling and deeply moving.

A Unique Experience

A Taikoza performance is more than just a concert - it’s an experience. The thunderous voice of the 150 lb. Taiko drums gives life to both traditional and new compositions. The raw energy that Taikoza brings will make you rediscover Taiko and energize your senses. It’s a truly life-changing experience.
