Here’s hoping 2012 is better than 2011 and may 2012 be the BEST YEAR EVER!
New Year’s Day in Honolulu was a long one for us……fireworks at midnite (considerably toned down from years past). Then a 7:30 AM performance at DFS in Waikiki and a 2 hour performance at Ala Moana Center Stage with special guests Todd Yukumoto, and Ryoko Oka. A great way to start off the new year!

Still & Moving Center in Kaka’ako, Honolulu
Join Body Percussionist, Keith Terry, and Taiko Artist Kenny Endo
for a foot-stompin, body-shakin’ experience!
Terry uses the oldest musical instrument in the world — the human body (his own) — as the basis for exploring, blending and bending rhythmic, percussive movement possibilities. Endo is the vanguard of the contemporary taiko genre. Having first collaborated over 20 years ago in Tokyo, they have continued to develop their musical journey together.
