A small handful of our troupe performs on the Long Wharf Mall to give a taste of the powerful drumming that will happen on Sunday in our full performance. Come see us play a few select songs and talk to us afterwards.

The Prelude is presented by Bailey T’s Resortwear and the Long Wharf Mall.
Odaiko New England performs at the Newport Black Ships Festival at the historic Cardine’s Field, one of our biggest performances of the year. We’re very pleased to return to Newport’s weekend-long festival celebrating the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa, which opened the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to United States trade. The “Black Ships,” or “Kurofune,” refers to the Japanese term for foreign ships.
We’ll be joined this year by the taiko group Shindaiko.
Shimoda is now Newport’s sister city and also celebrates this festival.
The Black Ships festival is hosted by the Japan-America Society of Rhode Island.
