Since
our beginning in 1990, Fushu Daiko has practiced
joyously in the pursuit of ever increasing mastery of taiko
drumming, understanding, and appreciation in the way of taiko,
Japanese culture, and all of life.
|
Fushu Daiko
is made up of many nationalities and backgrounds, yet we have
been drawn together by the taiko. Through it's sound Fushu
Daiko wishes to create a sense of connection in the hearts
of those who hear the taiko's beat.
The training
began with Sensei Yoshiko Cane and
Sensei Charles Cane. Then, with generous help from Grandmaster
Sensei Seiichi Tanaka of San
Francisco Taiko Dojo, Sensei Takemasa Ishikura of Orlando Matsuriza,
and Sensei Etsuo
Hongo from Los Angeles Matsuri, Fushu Daiko has become
powerful and spirited performers in the art of Japanese Taiko
Drumming.
Based in
South Florida we are available for performances of all scales.
Taiko Drum Lessons, Educational Workshops, Corporate Events,
Weddings, Grand Openings, Private Parties, Festivals, Concerts,
and Multi Ethnic Collaborations. Our performance lends power
and impact to any gathering.

Memorable Quotes....
"Your music, which blends martial arts and the skill
of drumming, has delighted South Florida audiences
and provided a powerful and unforgettable sample of
Japanese art. You have clearly succeeded in increasing the interest
of Floridians about Japan, and your contributions have been instrumental
in building greater understanding and strengthening the
bonds that bridge both our peoples." - Consul General of Japan
- Hideaki Asahi
"They added
dancers and fused other elements, like movement, while still keeping
a formal concert format. It's all about being in harmony
with the elements...It's a wonderful sensation." -
Sun Sentinal
"The only
taiko group in South Florida, Fushu Daiko has enthraled
audiences around the world with its skillful drumming,
discipline and power." - Morikami Museum
"They are
called Fushu Daiko and they beat their drums in
perfect unison, pounding and rattling a fierce rhythm that became
almost mesmerizing. Exploding through the muggy air, the sound
was loud enough to wake the dead - which was the
point!!!" - The Palm Beach Post
