.: Tracklist :.


Gocoo are originally seven female and four male Taiko drummers from Tokyo (Japan). On stage Gocoo performs with up to 16 artists. Gocoo performed at major Music & Arts, Blues & Roots, Rock & Pop and alternative Rock festivals, in live clubs, classic theatres and concert halls or at techno events. Lead drummer, Kaoly Asano (???), attracts much attention as a female Taiko artist. Whenever not performing with Gocoo on stage, she teaches the art of playing the Taiko at her Tawoo Taiko Dojo in Tokyo.
While many Taiko groups stoically pursue a traditional style, and while others seek new interpretations of traditional Japanese music, Gocoo's beat exhibits free-spirited Taiko music, rising freely between the East and the West, tradition and pop, rite and party. Although Gocoo's music is often referred to as crossover or world music, or even new terms such as Techno- and Trance-Taiko are created, Gocoo overcame any stereotyped concepts not only of Japanese drum music and reached their own, independent cult status. Free of ritual obligations, women, for example, have the majority among Gocoo's members.
