    San Jose Taiko presents its annual concert  in three heart-pounding performances. San Jose Taiko (SJT) was founded in 1973 by young Asian-Americans searching for an outlet to convey their experiences as sansei, or third generation Japanese-Americans. Looking to Japan for inspiration, they were drawn to the empowering sounds of the taiko, the Japanese drum, an instrument that embodies the spiritual essence and heartbeat of Japanese culture.

    Weaving traditional Japanese sounds with the best of world rhythms – African, Latin, Balinese, American rock and jazz – SJT presents an innovative, contemporary sound that bridges diverse styles and resonates with the Asian soul in America. Since then, SJT has become a dynamic, world-class performing troupe.
