Kodo - Mondo Head (2002) [Hi-Res+SACD]

Anyone who has seen Kodo perform in concert will recall their spectacular onstage presence, massive taiko drums, and a singularly Japanese aesthetic that draws upon centuries of tradition. More than merely a bunch of guys with drums (at last count, they had four women members), Kodo is a performing arts collective that has helped reinvigorate the cultural forms of Sado Island, where they are based.
