Just saw them this evening! Incredibly skilled! Our city was blessed to host them ❤
Never came to my mind...so cooool!! ✨🎶✨
Where Saito-san at?
this is so awesome!! i love how fun this feels, and how it's a whole performance!!! :)
love this so much!
What a great collaboration! And what wonderful way to play Matsuri! San Jose Taiko, you guys are the best!
🌺🌺🌺 thank you very much & many blessings to you
Fun fact: modern taiko was created by a japanese jazz musican
What's more, a bunch of people in this room knew him.
Love this!!
和太鼓の打ち方の上手い国は、日本は別として、ドイツ、コスタリカ、アルゼンチンと続く気がします。❣
cool
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen <3
this is the type of thing I would love to be there for, none of these million dollar production movie industries that corporations use to funnel money with bad writing, none of these delving into AI created media to be sold as products to the public completely replacing already struggling musicians, actors, artists, etc. I want to be in this room full of people living their best lives and just vibing with this masterpiece, thank you so very much for recording this and posting it for many more to view
You are absolutely right. I know this band (the video was recorded at my church), and the energy at their performances-especially the Swingposium shows in 2018-were a high point. Such exuberance!
WOW! The absolute joy in this art is amazing and I love it. My only complaint? I wasn't there to see it myself. 😋
Belgium
Jazz and taiko were clearly made for each other!
It funny u say that modern taiko was created by a japanese jazz musican
Bravo🥳🥳🥳 May all Arab nations be free from foreign manipulation. May all Arab Americans live discrmination free in USA. May all Arab women be treated as equal to men.🌺🌺🌺 I'm an Ohdaiko player from Tokyo, helped Aswat Ensemble perform at Asian Art Museum. I was there for this performance as well as our temple in San Jose. 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ If you understand music, you'll love Aswat Ensemble 🌷🌼🌻
I have watched this so many times, and never commented until now. It is one of my favorite performances which I return to time and again because it's such a creative fun and skillful fusion of two cultures and musical types. Thank you!
easily one of the coolest fusions I've ever seen. I keep coming back to this video
国の活力を感じます。益々のご活躍を。
amazing!
I feel a beautiful flow of QI (氣)！
stumbled upon this video while browsing youtube - WONDERFUL concert, I absolutely loved every minute of it!! Thank you for uploading the video so more people can watch and enjoy this awesome performance!! <3
Oh this is very cool and very well done, glad a post sent me here.
this is legitimately one of the coolest things I have ever seen
I bet this is astonishing in person!
amazing!!!
Bravo!
1940′s Jazz and Traditional Japanese music combined? That’s so dope, I’ve never seen anything like it!

That was really delightful! 💕🌟🌸
Thank you! 😊
Was intrigued when I saw this groups name in a magazine. I grew up in Burlingame and moved to Canada. My sister lived in San Jose for many years. Wish I had know about you when I visited. What a lively, upbeat group/ensemble. Thank you for our smile...as well as lots of foot tapping!
Samba? Tá de brincadeira!
日本は奥が深い、スゴイ❣️
Living for Geoff’s disappointed correcting voice.
Bravissimi! We love you from Italy 🇮🇹
OMG, why doesn't this have thousands of likes! This is awesome!!!
Wow, this is SO POGGERS!!!! Great jobb everyone :D
I saw you guys perform a couple of decades ago at the Nippon Kan theater in Seattle. The most magical show I ever saw. Do you still do the piece with the guy running on stage? 💕
That was brilliant. It looked and sounded great.
WOW, that made my day ♥️🥁♥️

Great performances! Great editing!
Congratulations to San Jose Taiko on an amazing concert!! Loved the energy, the playing on real and homemade instruments, the artistic use of the squares to create seamless performances of pieces! A real treat to watch!
San Jose got some serious groove!!! There have been plenty of online / virtual Taiko performances, this year. This one is hands down one of the best. Much respect!
What a great concert! Love the pieces played on the homemade instruments - they sound awesome!
Congratulations San Jose Taiko! What an amazing show and technical prowess! Taiko lives on!
