Background Information

Group's Mission and Motivation

As Canada's first all-women, all-Asian taiko group, Sawagi Taiko offers an alternative to the stereotype of Asian women as quiet and demure and strives to encourage the historical and cultural connections among different Asian cultures.

As a performing group, we're looking to smash hierarchies and create an environment where all our members can initiate and explore their artistic visions.
