Kumo Taiko
Kumo Taiko is a community-based Japanese drumming group based in Auckland. Since 2015, we’ve been bringing the powerful rhythms of taiko to stages, schools, and festivals across Aotearoa.
Rooted in Japanese ensemble drumming traditions, taiko is more than music — it's movement, teamwork, and storytelling.
Our group is made up of everyday Aucklanders from all walks of life who come together to train, perform, and share the joy of taiko with the wider community.

Kumo Taiko 10th Anniversary Concert
This October, Kumo Taiko will mark its 10-year anniversary with a major public concert: TEN. This full-length event will celebrate the group’s first decade with both traditional and original compositions, choreographed routines, and dynamic performances that showcase the energy, cultural depth, and community spirit of taiko drumming. With 34 performers ranging in age from 16 to 75, this will be our most ambitious production yet.
