The Kodo One Earth Tour 2005 blew into Vancouver last night with a powerful concert that garnered two standing ovations.
Kodo is a world-renowned Japanese drum group that is known for its athletic performances of mesmerizing percussion music. The group never fails to please, and appears to have loosened up somewhat from its earlier ascetic days.
The show incorporated a few new features including Kabuki elements and vocal numbers.
This is at least the fourth time I've seen Kodo in concert, and am always blown away. If you've never seen Kodo and have the chance, don't miss it!
