Kenny Endo’s thunderous taiko rhythms have shaped Honolulu’s cultural scene for half a century, and next August, the city is pulling out all the stops to honor his legacy. From electrifying concerts to hands-on workshops and the U.S. premiere of a global taiko documentary, this weeklong celebration at UH Mānoa is more than just a tribute—it’s a chance for everyone to experience the pulse and power of taiko firsthand. Endo’s journey proves how music can bridge cultures and generations. Who’s planning to join the festivities or has a favorite Endo memory to share? #Entertainment #Celebrity #HonoluluEvents
