Congratulations to COBU!

COBU won Kollaboration NYC Saturday night. These ladies are incredible. We’ll have a full interview with them for August but here’s a little bit of information about the group.

Yako Miyamoto, the founder of COBU is a current member of the Off-Broadway hit STOMP. COBU combines elements of the Japanese traditional Taiko drumming with rhythmic tap dancing. The extremely positive impact of the performance has received rave reviews from The New York Times and The Chicago Sun Times, and has touched audiences thought in Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, Florida, D.C and so on. “Dance Like Drumming, Drum Like Dancing.” COBU’s motto is inspired by the combined sounds of New York and traditional Japanese culture. This juxtaposition of traditional modernity makes them one of the most unique and original mind-blowing groups of our time.
