Kodo
Meany Hall for the Performing Arts- University of Washington Campus
In Japan, the name Kodo carries two meanings, heartbeat or children of the drum. And for these superb performers it represents the company's desire to play taiko purely, with the heart of a child. But there is nothing childlike in the primal beat of a Kodo performance. Although the company plays a variety of instruments, it's their massive drums weighing as much as 900 pounds that mesmerize the audience. Seeing Kodo is an unforgettable experience.

Ana Moura
Meany Hall for the Performing Arts- University of Washington Campus
Portuguese fado, a poetic, deeply expressive style of music, is in the midst of a glorious renaissance, and its brightest young star is Ana Moura. With a luxuriant voice and captivating stage presence, Moura has taken the art form in new directions with collaborations with such artists as The Rolling Stones and Prince. Her mesmeric appeal radiates from within, even if you don't know a syllable of Portuguese. Her ability to alternately whisper, growl and ring like a silver bell are the hallmarks of a fine singer, says NPR Music.
