"Indeed, if there is such a thing as perfection in music, Kodo comes as near to it as any group in the world." - Boston Globe
"Superlatives don't really exist to convey the primal power and bravura beauty of Kodo." - The Chicago Tribune
“…this was a typical Kodo evening: a celebration of music, of physicality, of life. But it was delivered with a sort of manic intensity that spoke to the importance of the moment more eloquently than any words could have. “ - The New York Times
“Excitingly varied, marvelously theatrical, fascinating from start to finish, with moments of vivid physical excitement, this programme by a small group of dancers and drummers, remaking performance arts into a modern theatrical experience, was a model of what can be done with folk art.” - The Sunday Telegraph (UK)
