Kodo means »heartbeat«. Since the Japanese »taiko« drummers started their first US
performance in 1975 just 10 minutes after completing the Boston Marathon, they have become
a living legend and fill concert halls around the globe. Their outstanding style is only possible
through extremely rigorous training and strict discipline as shown here at the KODO-
headquarters on Sado Island.
