The famed taiko troupe Kodo is back! The living bearers of a centuries-old Japanese folk tradition, the ensemble’s athletic drummers create a universe of sound and emotion through thunderous percussion and polished theatricality. “Their sound stretches from the lightest of rainfall to cataclysmic thunderclaps” (The Guardian).

#FunFact: In Japanese, the word "Kodo" can be translated as "heartbeat," the primal source of all rhythm. However, Kodo’s name is written with different characters, which mean "drum" and "child." This reflects Kodo's desire to play the drums with the simple heart of a child. On March 7, Kodo brings their latest program, Tsuzumi, to Philly.

Acclaimed Japanese taiko ensemble, Kodo returns to Osaka on June 22/23 with “Michi.” This powerful performance is based on the core repertoire that Kodo has upheld for almost half a century, since the days of its antecedent group, Sado no Kuni Ondekoza (1971-81). Michi, which means a road or path, focuses on preserving Kodo’s unique “DNA” by drawing on the iconic form found within signature Kodo pieces and carefully sharing the essence of those traditions with the next generation. | Kodo 鼓童
