Taiko Drums of Japan with Tampa Taiko

Experience Asian culture and celebrations like Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year, and Matsuri Festivals with Tampa Taiko!


They’ll bring traditional music and dancing styles to the stage, including The Chinese Lion Dance, a 3,000-year-old Chinese tradition that symbolizes prosperity, luck, and happiness.

According to legends, the dance tells the story of a creature that terrorized villagers with thunder, lightning, and rain through the thundering sounds of drums, cymbals, and gongs. However, the aftermath was an excellent harvest for the villages!

Don’t miss this celebration of Asian culture with Tampa Taiko!

Approximate run time: three hours.
