Touzan Taiko

Performer

Touzan Taiko, founded in 2009 at Cal Poly Pomona is a student-run taiko drumming group dedicated to sharing Japanese cultural music through dynamic performance, exciting collaboration, and community events while training new generations of collegiate taiko players.

Touzan Taiko will be hosting a panel focused on the cultural significance of taiko and the role of collegiate and local groups in preserving and sharing the art form. Panelists will discuss the history of taiko, their personal experiences as performers, and how taiko fosters community, cultural identity, and passion to the audience. We’ll provide drums for people to experiment with the instruments and teach certain stances and forms when we perform.
