In Japanese, the word Kodo holds a double meaning. It can be translated as heartbeat, the primal source of all rhythm. However, the group’s name is written with different characters, which mean drum and child. This reflects Kodo’s desire to play the drums with the simple heart of a child.
Kodo have composed soundtracks to major films, as well as having become the inspiration for many taiko (Japanese drum) players around the world.
Based on Sado Island, Japan, they've played a significant role in popularising taiko drumming, both in Japan and abroad – forging new directions for a vibrant living art-form.
