Raging Asian Women Taiko Drummers (RAW) is a community arts collective of Asian and Asian-Canadian Women in Toronto. We are a music group who carry on the Japanese Taiko drum tradition as evolved through North America with a special focus on social activism, education, and community building. Through performance, education, and community outreach, we seek to challenge racial oppression and cultural stereotypes, define and claim our own racial and gender identities, and inspire and empower others, especially women and girls of color. RAW is based in Toronto, Canada and is a registered, not-for-profit organization.
