"Beni" means "deep red" in Japanese, representing Madison, and "Taiko" means drum. Their goal is to teach, preserve, and perform the ancient art of Taiko drumming, a form of traditional Japanese musical expression that combines mental discipline and physical demand. The group’s mission is to introduce a facet of Japanese culture through teaching and performing for people of all ages. Follow on Facebook: https://www.
