Testimonials

“My favorite part of volunteering for TCA was being able to meet and learn about all the different people and groups that make up the greater Taiko Community. As an immigrant in making, it especially touched me how people from vastly different background come together to create and foster the communities that is so inclusive and passionate all very uniquely Taiko. I know this community will continue supporting and inspiring so many more amazing people and music..”

“San Diego Taiko was the grateful recipient of a Regional Gathering Grant from Taiko Community Alliance. In October 2022, the grant supported a gathering of over 60 individuals, representing 7 different San Diego taiko groups, who reconnected with buddies from across our community, forged new friendships and ideas, feasted on yummy food, shook off the COVID blues, and bonded together over the joy of taiko.”
