MU DAIKO AT THE RITZ

November 9th- November 18th, 2007

 

Nationally-recognized Twin Cities taiko ensemble Mu Daiko unveils new work and revisits classic compositions with heart-pounding rhythms, elegant choreography, and joyous energy.

The first weekend highlights original compositions by Mu Daiko members, including a new collaboration with Korean drummer Sangho Kim. The second weekend, Mu Daiko welcomes LA’s award-winning group TAIKOPROJECT, best known for appearing in a popular television spot for the Mitsubishi Eclipse. TAIKOPROJECT adds a contemporary edge to traditional taiko with infusions of music, hip-hop dance, and video and was the first American-based taiko ensemble to win the Tokyo International Taiko Contest.
