Kodō: One Earth Tour 2025 – Warabe

Let your soul dance to the rhythm of life!
Celebrating more than 40 years, Kodō returns to North America with One Earth Tour 2025: Warabe, a thrilling performance that revisits the ensemble’s early repertoire — highlighting the unique sound, resonance, and physicality of simple forms of taiko expression. With Warabe, Kodō explores the desire to play the drums with the pure, untainted heart of a child. These highly athletic drummers, bearers of a centuries-old Japanese tradition, create a universe of sound and emotion through thunderous percussion and polished theatricality. Capturing the essence of Kodō’s early days, this family-friendly performance celebrates the ensemble’s enduring spirit as children of the drum. Come and experience the soul-stirring rhythm of life firsthand.

“If there is such a thing as perfection in music, Kodō comes as near to it as any group in the world.”
