ABOUT

TaikoMix was formed in 2005 by graduating members of the UC Riverside collegiate taiko ensemble in response to a specific need for Asian and Asian American community representation of traditional and cultural arts in the Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties) region.

​

After attending the North American Taiko Conference, TaikoMix co-founders Jeannette Maniago and Terry Nguyen had a vision to create TaikoMix, the Inland Empire's first community taiko ensemble, to provide opportunities to our community to experience taiko. 

​

Headquartered in Riverside, California, TaikoMix incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2008.
