San Jose Taiko was founded in 1973 by young Asian Americans searching for an outlet to express themselves as "sansei", or third generation Japanese Americans. Looking to Japan for inspiration, they were drawn to the empowering sounds of the taiko, the Japanese drum, an instrument that embodies the spiritual essence and heartbeat of Japanese culture.
