Kodo One Earth Tour 2025: Warabe

Kodo has perfected centuries-old taiko drumming techniques over its nearly 50-year history. Their name means both “heartbeat,” and “children of the drum.” And, indeed, a Kodo concert taps into our primal need for rhythm. You’ll never forget their precision, endurance, and strength. 

Celebrating over 40 years, Kodo returns to North America with One Earth Tour 2025: Warabe, a thrilling performance that revisits the ensemble’s early repertoire, blending simple forms of taiko expression that highlight its unique sound, resonance, and physicality. With Warabe, Kodo explores the desire to play the drums with the simple 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 Kodo’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.
