Last night I went out with some girlfriends who also did JET in previous years. We saw an amazing performance by Mu Daiko, a local taiko (Japanese drumming) group here in Minneapolis. Taiko is powerfully evocative stuff, and I wish I'd had more opportunity to see it while I lived in Japan.
The second act was by On Ensemble, and I feel inspired to urge you to check them out! Seriously amazing shizit with koto, taiko drums, modern drum kit, Central-Asian-style throat singing (wow!) , acappela mouth music, DJ scratching, hip-hop beats, and true musicality. Seriously, people, check them out!!!
