Maze Daiko in Concert!

I've been so busy lately I haven't had much time to do promo for our upcoming show featuring Maze Daiko and Ojala. Here is our blurb:

$18 in advance $20 at the door

Buy tickets for Ojala and Maze Daiko - an Evening of Women Drummers
Ojala is a group of 6 talented women who combine traditional Afro-Cuban folkloric music, infectious funky contemporary rhythms, beautiful vocals and imaginative and original songs. Carolyn Brandy, a groundbreaking Bay Area female percussionist, is the musical director of the band, and the inspiring vocals are led by Regina Wells and Elouise Burrell. Joining them are Annette Acosta and Sue Matthews, and dancer Ava Miller.

Mazeru is the Japanese word for "mix" and taiko (daiko) is the Japanese word for "drum". Maze Daiko creates an exciting mix of instrumentation and rhythms with the physical elegance and powerful sounds of taiko. Ensemble members Janet Koike, Kathryn Cabunoc, Carolyn West, Crissy Sato and Tina Blaine (also featured on djembe and dumbek), plus guest artist, Meri Mitsuyoshi playing fue (Japanese flute), create intricate rhythms and melodies to fill the stage with vibrant music and sound. Two amazing groups in one evening!
