Kodō

Let your soul dance to the rhythm of life! Celebrating more than 40 years, Kodō ​ returns to North America with One Earth Tour 2025: Warabe, a thrilling performance that revisits the ensemble’s early repertoire — lending simple forms of taiko expression that highlight its unique sound, resonance and physicality. With Warabe, Kodō explores the desire to play the drums with the simple heart of a child. These highly athletic drummers, bearers of a centuries-old Japanese tradition, create a universe of sound and emotion through thunderous percussion and polished theatricality. Capturing the essence of Kodō’s early days, this family-friendly performance celebrates the ensemble’s enduring spirit as children of the drum. Come and experience the soul-stirring rhythm of life firsthand.

If there is such a thing as perfection in music, Kodō comes as near to it as any group in the world.
