About this user

SHIDARA was founded in 1989 by artistic director, CHABO. With deep roots in their remote Japanese village, SHIDARA's performance carries a purity and devotion to the forest, and a festival harmony between the human and spirit worlds. Members practice and train eleven hours a day. They exceed mental and physical limitations as a way of life, creating an explosive dynamism onstage.

Grand champions at the 2002 Tokyo 1st International Wadaiko Contest, and enjoying the stage with Grammy and Golden Award Winner KITARO in 2003, SHIDARA tours regularly throughout Japan and Korea, with acclaimed appearances in Norway, Sweden, the United States, Martinique, and Taipei.

Thunderous standing ovations at U.S. debut appearances, and ensuing popular demand from North American audiences led to the commencement of SHIDARA's US Tours in 2006. SHIDARA first appeared as featured artists in the North America Taiko Conference Taiko Jam Concert in 2003, returning for a 4-week grass-roots tour in 2006.

At that time, SHIDARA showcased at the Western Arts Alliance Conference in Los Angeles, receiving a standing ovation from the audience of presenters. This triumph led to a second showcase performance at the Association of Performing Artists Presenters Conference in Manhattan, New York, with the same resounding applause. Immediately following, the group launched a national workshop tour, later that year facilitating workshops and again performing as guest artists at the 2007 North American Taiko Conference in Seattle, Washington.

SHIDARA performed for sold-out audiences on their 6-week Western US Tour March 28th through May 5th, 2008 and again during their Mid-West US Tour February 22nd through March 20th. They are currently booking a US Tour for 2012.
