"Primal Power!" "Bravura Beauty!" "Percussionist Kamikazes!" Critics and audiences alike continue to rave about the Japanese percussion group, KODO. While exploring the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese drum, KODO forges new directions for a vibrant living art form. Since their debut in 1981, KODO has given over 2,600 widely acclaimed performances in over 42 countries and continues to both preserve and re-interpret traditional Japanese performing arts. Time Out / UK says, "Nothing will prepare you for the 1,000 lb. drum assault, the precise timing or the wall of sound. An essential experience."
