Rhythm Journey
San Jose Taiko (SJT) has been mesmerizing audiences since 1973 with the powerful, spellbinding and propulsive sounds of the taiko. Inspired by traditional Japanese drumming, SJT performers express the beauty and harmony of the human spirit through the voice of the taiko as they create new dimensions in Asian American movement and music.
Their commitment to a holistic process in which all of the artists participate in the composition, choreography and handcrafting of the costumes and drums, imbues SJT with a singularity of mind and spirit. Through this unique artistic process, harmony is achieved and the music rings with unity and clarity.
SJT’s program, Rhythm Journey, broadens the historical art form by combining the traditional rhythms of Japanese drumming with other world rhythms, including African, Brazilian, Filipino, Latin and jazz — bridging many styles, while still resonating with the Asian soul in America.
