Fushu Daiko Information

Fushu Daiko 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. Our performance lends power and impact to any gathering. Based in South Florida we are available for performances of all scales.
