Description:

Founded in the Fall of 2002, Kazan Taiko is one of the newest collegiate Taiko groups to join the ranks of existing groups like UCLA Kyodo Taiko, UCI Jodaiko, and Stanford Taiko.

With the extensive knowledge and guidance of Taiko Project's artistic director and USC Alumn Bryan Yamami, founders Koichi Sanchez and Bridge Mei, along with the enthusiastic and devoted founding group, created USC's first Taiko group.

Kazan Taiko's formation is a testament to the growing popularity of Taiko not only on the college level but for all of North America as well. Kazan Taiko's goal is to provide a place to learn more about the deep-rooted tradition of Taiko while allowing players to express themselves through music and movement with both traditional and modern influences of dance, music, and culture.
