we are shindaiko
We’re a Japanese taiko drumming ensemble from Boston, Massachusetts. The Japanese character “Shin” in ShinDaiko means “advancing” or “moving forward.” We seek to always be moving forward in our musical vision, to explore new ideas and concepts, and to weave the powerful sounds of taiko with other musical influences to create our own distinct melody.
