With traditional taiko ensemble rhythms at its foundation, the Ōn Ensemble (pronounced "ohn") has brilliantly conceived an original sound by combining acoustic instruments, electronic influences and traditional Tuvan overtone singing. Their unique blend of folk, jazz and rock has excited audiences throughout the world as they celebrate Asian Pacific-American performing arts.
"This is a very talented and unique group with the guts to take a centuries old art form to another level."
-Glen Creason, CerritosInk
