Kodo Drummers March 17, 2011

Exploring the limitless possibilities of the traditional Japanese drum, Kodo are forging new directions for a vibrant, living art form. The versatile performers dance, mime and play a variety of instruments, but it is their awesome drums that mesmerize the audience, including the massive o'daiko, a 900-pound decorated instrument carved from the trunk of a single tree and played by two men. An international phenomenon, the company has given over 3,000 performances on five continents.
