In this episode of SLANT, host Dana Tai Soon Burgess interviews Mark H. Rooney, master taiko drummer and founder of the annual Sakura Taiko Fest in Washington, D.C. Mark reflects on his biracial Japanese American identity and the complexities of navigating cultural belonging in both the U.S. and Japan. He shares his journey from growing up in Massachusetts to finding his cultural roots through taiko drumming, eventually becoming a prominent instructor and performer in the U.S., Japan, and Europe. Dive into a rich conversation about the history of taiko, its spiritual and historical significance, and the power of cultural arts in fostering connections across continents. Mark also highlights the evolution of taiko as a modern ensemble performance and his ongoing mission to teach and expand the art form.
