Kodo

Kodō ( 鼓童 ) is a professional taiko drumming troupe. Based on Sado Island , Japan , they have had a role in popularizing taiko drumming, both in Japan and abroad. They regularly tour Japan, Europe, and the United States. In Japanese the word "Kodō" conveys two meanings: "heartbeat" the primal source of all rhythm and, read in a different way, the word can mean "children of the drum".
