<p>Join NYC Parks for a special concert featuring Taikoza. Taikoza has created a new sound using the thunderous rhythms of the ancestral Taiko drums and the magical sounds of the bamboo flutes. Roughly translated, Taiko means big drums, and that&rsquo;s exactly what Taikoza brings: big drums, powerful rhythms, and electrifying, room-thumping energy. This exciting group draws from Japan&rsquo;s rich tradition of music and performance to create a highly visual performance.</p><p><strong>About Taikoza</strong><br />Taikoza was formed in New York City by members of Ondekoza (the group that started the renaissance of taiko in Japan in the &#39;60s and introduced Taiko worldwide).</p>

Faces of Cuba Exhibition

<p>This photo exhibit is the result of a &quot;people to people&quot; cultural exchange in which the artist participated last October. The artist and group visited Havana, Cienfuegos,&nbsp;and Trinidad. Music and art were everywhere and the crumbling Spanish architecture made for some interesting&nbsp;images. The various images convey his impressions of Cuba and the Cuban people in an apolitical manner. The recent presidential visit and talk of lifting the embargo lend context to the images.</p>
