Description
See, hear, and experience the intensely dramatic sounds and powerful energy of Japanese drumming as the Las Vegas Kaminari Taiko presents an earthshaking concert mixing traditional folkloric songs, contemporary pieces, and new original compositions.
Formed in 1993 by George Goto and Doug Muraoka under the name “Las Vegas Taiko” (LVT), George served as the drum maker and Doug was the director. After practicing on tires and building their own drums, LVT became Las Vegas Kaminari Taiko (LVKT) because of the impressive thunderous sounds the drums made.
The group, which is part of the Las Vegas chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League, has spent over 20 years performing all over Southern Nevada at schools, conventions, casinos, and community festivals. Under the direction and instruction of Jennifer Caballero, LVKT music balances the traditional roots of taiko with modern sounds and influences. Members consist of students and performers of all ages.
