Kodo at Hard Rock

Experience the Kodo One Earth Tour at the Joint Amphitheatre at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 770 W. Cherokee St., in Catoosa on Saturday, Feb 19 at 8pm. Kodo is a highly energetic exploration of the traditional Japanese drum. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the One Earth Tour, a show that has given over 3,300 performances on five continents. Kodo is based out of Sado Island in Japan, where the musicians spend one-third of the year writing and rehearsing new music. The musicians spend the rest of the year performing in Japan and touring the world.

Kado strives to simultaneously preserve and redefine the tradition of Japanese performing arts. The performance incorporates traditional rhythms found in Japanese music with original music written by Kodo songwriters and Kodo members. Impressive by their sheer size, the instruments used in Kodo performances include Miya-daika, Shime-daiko and Oke-daiko drums that can weigh over 800 pounds.

Tickets are $38-$58. For more information, visit hardrockcasinotulsa.com or kodo.or.jp.
