Today, taiko is a dynamic and evolving performing art combining rhythm, movement, energy, and culture into a single art form. Through artistic excellence and innovation in taiko, we affirm Asian American pride, inspire audiences, build community, and educate about our culture and heritage.

Las Vegas Taiko

The Las Vegas taiko scene came to life in 1993 when the late George Goto formed Las Vegas Kaminari Taiko. This exciting Southern Nevada taiko troupe is composed of uchite (taiko drummers) who have a deep respect for taiko, and dedicate many hours learning and sharing this ancient art form. Performances have included a wide variety of venues from cultural events in the park to universities and conventions. Kaminari means “thunder.” We hope you’ll experience our performances, then understand why we are so named.
