Since our founding in 2002 as Vancouver Island’s first and foremost taiko group, Uminari Taiko has performed in numerous theatres, concert halls, schools and parks for community celebrations, annual runs and special events both public and private. To each we have injected powerful rhythms, dynamic energy and lively spirit.
