More about Boulder Taiko HIBIKI:

Julia Misawa founded, directs and teaches students of Boulder Taiko HIBIKI, a traditional Japanese drum class and performance group. Misawa studied Taiko for eight years under Master Seiichi Tanaka, who first brought Taiko to the U.S. in 1968. The challenge and the beauty of Taiko stem from the combination of percussion, dance and martial art. I work to bring this cultural experience to local communities by integrating art skills and knowledge with traditional Japanese drum music.
