About this Event
As with all drums, the taiko resonates deeply with our respective ancestors. Last fall during their residency at LOBE, Kage created ‘Dance With Ancestors’ drawing from their archives of taiko recordings and mixed in inspirational works featuring collaborators who are no strangers to the Powell Street Festival community:
Noriko Kobayashi - shamisen & shigin
Elaine Stef - electric guitar
Anny Lin - oke daiko
John Nguyen - fue and oke daiko
Linda Uyehara Hoffman - vocals
The work explores the raw essence of taiko's acoustic qualities in combination with rave-inspired beats and stunning melodies. Mixed in 4DSOUND, and played through Lobe's world-class sound system, this experience will be a fully immersive listening journey where the audience is invited to lie back and listen or get up and dance!
Listening sessions will be at 3:00pm and 4:00pm sharp with doors open at 2:00pm.
Please arrive on time! :)
