About the Band
ShinDaiko is a contemporary Japanese taiko drumming ensemble based in Greater Boston and Rockland, Maine.
Founded in 2012, the group blends centuries-old traditions with modern musical influences—ranging from jazz, classical, and rock to dance and folk—to create high-energy, original performances that are both powerful and expressive.
“Taiko” means “drum” in Japanese, but it also refers to a dynamic, spiritual art form rooted in ceremony, celebration, and storytelling.
The name “ShinDaiko,” meaning “advancing drums,” reflects the group’s mission to evolve the art through innovation and cross-genre creativity.
Made up of passionate, multi-talented artists trained in percussion, winds, strings, voice, and composition, ShinDaiko brings a bold, cross-cultural sound to stages across New England and beyond.
Their performances—at festivals, cultural events, weddings, and city celebrations—leave a lasting impact on the ears and the soul.
