Our Story

Triangle Taiko celebrates joy and diversity, and welcomes everybody who wish to join us in doing us. Our members come from many walks of life and are of various ages and backgrounds, unexperienced to highly experience musicians. We simply enjoy playing taiko together.

Triangle Taiko formed in 2002, with the earliest meeting to initiate it was January 20th. This meeting consisted of figuring out the mission of the club at a very young age and in an environment lacking taiko in the east coast. Soon after, Triangle Taiko performed its first performance at the Nippon Club Picnic in October 12th 2002, followed by several others by the end of the year.

Special Taiko has been an integral part of Triangle Taiko. Special Taiko is a joint program held with the City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department. A lot of our Special Taiko members perform when they get the chance to do so, as they are always excited to do so!

Over the past decade, Triangle Taiko has grown, with many members joining more permanently, and others joining briefly and sharing their ways of joy and taiko with us. Eventually, our sister group, Earth Spirit Taiko, formed at Asheboro and became its own autonomous group playing and performing the Asheboro area. Triangle Taiko could never become what it is today thanks to the many members who played with us throughout the years, we greatly appreciate players who have became part of us, and miss those we played with us in the past.
