Ogi Matsuri Daiko (Ogi Festival Taiko) is an upbeat piece that livens up Ogi’s local festival, composed by Kodo’s Yoshikazu Fujimoto. This workshop will be led by members of Korei no Kai, a taiko group based here in Ogi. The more you play this taiko rhythm, the more fun it becomes! Come along and prepare to get hooked on the catchy beats. Beginners are most welcome—no taiko experience is required.
