Watsonville Taiko is a taiko drumming community of performers and supporters. The group’s goal is to strive, through exploration of taiko, to develop an art that combines drumming with folklore, mythology and symbolism. Taiko as folk art is emphasized because it places value on joining with others to keep traditions alive. Important values and social meanings are found in the context of full participation and understanding of cultural traditions. By working together, the group learns that each person is valued as an important member of the community. D.
