Beni Daiko

Come by the library and enjoy an outdoor performance from Madison Japanese Taiko Drumming Group Beni Daiko.

From the group's bio "We are the Madison Japanese Taiko Group "Beni Daiko," Madison's premiere mainland taiko drumming group.

Our taiko group was founded in November 2012. "Beni" means "deep red" in Japanese, representing Madison, and "Taiko" means drum.

Our goal is to teach, preserve, and perform the ancient art of Taiko drumming, a form of traditional Japanese musical expression that combines mental discipline and physical demand.

Our mission is to introduce a facet of Japanese culture through teaching and performing for people of all ages."

Audiences are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs for the concerts.
