Mu Daiko's Taiko Blizzard

According to Japanese folklore, Taiko drums can carry the prayers of their players to heaven. As disciples of this tradition, this collection of drummers use enough force to wake the Samurai spirits who initiated this ritual. The annual Taiko Blizzard festival—featuring Mu Performing Arts’ Daiko drum core and the renowned Winnipeg-based Fubuki Daiko squad—blends pulsating beats with rhythmic, athletic dancing and action-packed stunts. Given such gushing intensity for both the eyes and ears, it’s no surprise that sold-out shows are as much a part of this tradition as the concert itself. 1420 Washington Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-340-1725; www.southerntheater.org
