Obon Fest 2014

I ventured to Obon Fest this year again after a several year hiatus. Listening to two taiko (Japanese drum) groups and people watching.

This group is called En-Taiko and is a group of youth taiko performers and they were awesome. I'd never seen them before.

I tried to upload my favorite of two videos of them, but it wouldn't load...so you get my #2 pick for now...

 

Then came Portland Taiko...a group I've seen a number of times and enjoy each time.

 And a video of them....

A lovely, yet hot Portland summer early evening!
