SPARK is a great weekly program that airs art, performance and culture segments each week on KQED. We're looking forward to this week's episode which features San Jose TAIKO, and Victor Cartagena, an artist that we became familiar with through MACLA years ago.

The episode will air several times over the next few days so check listings here.

Btw....if you want to see TAIKO for real, they'll be performing at the Obon Festival in Japantown this weekend, 4:30pm on July 12th and 3:30pm on July 13th.

San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin
