Widely acclaimed on the World Music circuit for sensational live performances, London based composer, percussionist, Taiko virtuosa and shakuhatchi player Joji Hirota, makes his first tour of the States,  With spectacular percussion solos backed by a tight ensemble of professional Taiko drummers and a yokoblue flautist, Joji's original and imaginative compositions bring great musicianship to the art of Taiko drumming.

 

Embracing the major musical styles of East and West, and within a broad contemporary synthesis, Joji has collaborated with top musicians from all the World's main music traditions, performing regularly at WOMAD festivals world wide.  Extensively recorded, (see Joji's website), Joji composes, and directs music for television, dance and stage, recently touring internationally with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
