On Saturday, May 23, we were invited to perform at a full Waterfire lighting celebrating Brown University’s 250 Anniversary.
Though it was cold night, the warmth of the torches and audience kept us going through our performances of Matsuri, Yoarashi, and Miyake. We ended with Yatai and Tamaire being played on boats as we floated down the canal.
What a great end to an exciting year!

Last weekend, Gendo Taiko had the honor of meeting KODO performer, Masayuki Sakamoto, before the KODO Mystery Tour performance in New York. It was an incredible performance and we are so grateful to have had this opportunity!
Thank you to Yoko Fujimoto, Yui Kawamoto, and our own Kota for arranging this meeting!
That’s right! Starting February 21, YOU will have a chance to bang some drums! We will cover basic stance, rhythms, and solo/improvisation techniques, in addition to having a great time while getting a good exercise! These workshops are open to students and those in the community!
Fill out this interest form to sign up! Spots will be very limited, so do it soon!
Thank you to our friends at Tufts for having us perform at Tufts Matsuri this year!

A great big thanks to the crew of WaterFire and to all attendees! We had an amazing time during our first big performance this year, and we hope the same for everyone. Come see us again next at WaterFire next Fall!
