In the alpine beauty of Mount Shasta a cultural phenomenon has taken hold. Taiko — Japanese drumming — is gaining popularity worldwide and has found its way to Mt. Shasta, CA . Twenty-four years ago, musicians Russel Baba and Jeanne Mercer founded Shasta Taiko, and their taiko program has had a direct impact on the development of American Taiko.
On July 31, Saturday evening, at the base of majestic Mt. Shasta, the 6th annual ShastaYama Taiko Festival will entertain and inspire audiences with a spectacle of Japanese drumming, dance, and music. Last year’s festival attracted over a thousand concert-goers, who experienced world class artistry in the dramatic venue of Mt. Shasta’s Shastice Park.
ShastaYama 2010′s featured guest artists TaikoProject, Masato Baba, Michelle Fujii, Toru Watanabe and the always inspirational Shasta Taiko, led by taiko pioneers Baba and Mercer. Food and refreshments will be available.

Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. In 1971, Lindley joined forces with Jackson Browne, serving as Jackson’s most significant musical co-conspirator until 1981. In 1979, Lindley began working with old friend Ry Cooder. In 1991, Lindley and guitarist Henry Kaiser recorded six albums of indigenous Malagasy music in Madagascar, which proved to have a major impact on the world music scene, both for the quality of the Grammy nominated music recorded, and the fair and ethical way the Malagasy musicians were dealt with. Throughout this long and distinguished career, Lindley has been one of Hollywood’s most in demand session musicians, lending his skills to the recorded works of Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby and Nash, Warren Zevon, and many others.
