Kazoku Daiko is a community based taiko drumming group that began in Napa in 2018. We host weekly classes at the Napa Senior Center where we learn Japanese taiko drumming on practice drums.
Our goals are to:
1) Create a sense of community through taiko.
2) Provide an opportunity for music, creativity, exercise, and stress relief through taiko.
3) Work on performance based music for continuing/intermediate students.
Why join?
For the music, exercise, stress relief, challenge, culture, strength, fun, friends, and much more! No experience required.
Kazoku means family in Japanese in honor of our close connections to one another as a second family. Our songs are Korekara and Funky Shoes. Korekara is written by Michelle Fuji and Walter Clarke. Korekara means “From now on.” It is a song about appreciation to our taiko founders and an exciting leap toward the future. Fenikkusu, “Funky Shoes” as we have come to call it, is written by Rebecca Rebecca Brockman. It is a song about the phoenix that appears to mark the birth of a new era and a blessings and hope for a new beginning. More to come.
