The 2006 Kyodo Taiko spring concert featured "Genki," one of our many concert pieces. This piece involves three different types of drums, the odiko, the chu daiko and the shime.
Down in front, two of our most recent alumni, Megumi Tomatsu and Christine Kimura, work together to play "Genki," one of Kyodo's concert pieces. This piece requires strength and power, as well as coordination with your partner.

[Kyodo Taiko at UCLA was the first collegiate taiko group to form in North America, founded under UCLA's Nikkei Student Union. Striving to live up to the group’s name, Kyodo Taiko functions as a family, sharing the joy and spirit of taiko with more and more of the surrounding community each year.]
