With an art form as long-lasting as taiko music, it takes seasoned musicians to keep the tradition alive. And KODO does it masterfully. Continuing the KCRW series at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which kicked off last October, Japanese ensemble KODO will return to the Hall on Tuesday, Feb. 4, at 8:00 p.m. Grimy Goods is giving away a couple of pairs of tickets, courtesy of our friends at the LA Phil. See all the details below to enter the giveaway.
KODO has been around since the early 1980s, coming together as a collective of performers who already had experience in similar groups. They debuted at the Berliner Philharmonie, drawing attention for their take on traditional taiko drumming and quickly putting them on the world stage. Just a few years later, they performed at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, one of many times they came to the city.
Aside from the grandeur of KODO and its performers, the show offers attendees a look at what music is like across the Pacific Ocean. Considering taiko instruments were powerful enough to fuel entire armies, there’s no doubt that guests at the concert will feel that same energy, especially since KODO has made it a point to preserve the sound for generations upon generations.
