Our ancestors believed that we used the ocean like a bridge to meet people and make peace with all nations. Our Taiko drums send forth a wish and a feeling of peace to each individual with an echoing harmony of our sincere appreciation for each and every person. It was in 2002 at the New Year's Party of Okinawa Kenjin-kai that our first Okinawa Taiko performance was done by six (6) members led by Hannah Jack. In March 2006, the O.K.K. Taiko Group was officially established as Okinawa Kenjin-kai's Taiko Group for the purpose of bringing knowledge and enjoyment of Okinawan music & dance to the local population. We perform traditional Okinawan Eisa Taiko; drummers hit their taiko drums while dancing and parading to the accompaniment of Okinawan Bon-Odori Music (Eisa). The current Chair is Mia Slattum (North area) and the Vice Chair is Dave Bartley (South area). Our group consists of taiko drummers and dancers, and we now have about 35 members. If you are interested in joining O.K.K. Taiko Group, please contact us. (Note: You do not have to be an Okinawa Kenjin-kai member to join O.K.K. Taiko Group.) O.K.K. Taiko Group has been active performing in the Northwest area at various occasions such as at functions of Okinawa Kenjin-kai as well as for other local cultural and community groups and events. In 2008, O.K.K. Taiko Group is scheduled to perform before the game of the Seattle Mariners in the Safeco field. Please come and enjoy our passionate and dynamic performance!
