Soten Taiko brings the power and spirit of traditional Japanese drumming to Central Iowa. As the region’s only taiko ensemble and a proud part of the Japan America Society of Iowa, they’ve been sharing the thunderous energy of taiko since 2011.

They perform at festivals, schools, and community events across Iowa and welcome anyone interested in learning this art form. This year, they’re thrilled to return to CelebrAsian! Ready to fill the festival grounds with the deep, resonant heartbeat of taiko.

Come experience the powerful rhythms, the cultural tradition, and the unmistakable sound of taiko under Iowa’s open sky.
