GOCOO - live around the planet - Taiko

Check www.gocoo.de for more about GOCOO!

GOCOO are seven female and four male drummers who capture their audience with original grooves woven with Japanese drums, Taikos. On stage the 11 musicians from Tokyo create with almost 40 drums a music-spectacle beyond imagination. The cosmic beats and uniquely complex poly-rhythms are of such primal nature that they reflect all known music styles and consequently unite people of all ages, ethnic and social origins and of any taste in music. No matter where GOCOO performs, at major World&Roots, Rock&Pop or alternative Rock festivals, in live clubs, classic theatres and concert halls or at techno events, GOCOO takes all audiences on a mesmerizing trip between trance and ecstasy with their goose-bumps music. GOCOO define themselves as a "Band" and while usual Taiko ensembles stoically pursue a traditional style, and while others seek new interpretations of traditional Japanese music, GOCOO's beat exhibits free-spirited Taiko music, rising freely between the East and the West, tradition and pop, rite and party and hence appealing directly to the heart of a broad range of audiences. The sound of GOCOO's music is so uniquely catchy that not only the makers of the MATRIX movies discovered GOCOO's tunes for their soundtracks. Major Japanese companies such as Hitachi or Nissan also use GOCOO's beats for their TV spots.
