“Taiko” is a Japanese word that literally means “drum”, but has come to refer to the art of Japanese drumming. Ho Etsu Taiko is a collective of musicians who put a fresh spin on the art of Japanese drumming, while staying grounded in the rich tradition of kumi-daiko. Through their music, they blend the culture of Japanese-American taiko with influences that celebrate the diversity of their ensemble. Their mission is to spread joy through each and every drumbeat by creating music that is true to who they are.
