Sorry to ask, but you all got me interested. So, what exactly is Kodo ? And
is there any chance I could see them in France ?

Thanks in advance,

Itaï.

Go to a good music store, and look in the international section for KODO, which
is Japanese music -- and the name of one group in particular who've been doing
this for a long time -- using the traditional huge honking kodo drums and
others.  

It ranges from quiet music that's almost meditative to driving, hard,
adrenaline filled yet somehow elegant music that sets the small hairs on your
arms straight up.

I'd particularly recommend their album Live at the Acropolis, which contains a
good sampling of their best stuff.  

I cannot commend them highly enough.
