About the event

LEENALCHI is the seven-piece alt-pop powerhouse from Seoul currently shattering the boundaries between the ancient and the avant-garde. By fusing pansori-a traditional Korean genre of musical storytelling-with a relentless, double-bass-driven rhythm section, the band has created a sound that is part 80s New Wave, part deep-funk disco, and entirely their own.Most of the people reading this bio won't be able to understand Leenalchi's lyrics. Funnily enough, a lot of Korean speakers won't be able to either.

Using uitaeeo (mimetic words that capture sensations and emotions), LEENALCHI's music transcends linguistic barriers.With a vocal style defined by hypnotic, rhythmic chants-Hee-hee! Ha-ha!

Hut-hut!-and a groove-heavy backbeat that demands a dance floor, LEENALCHI transforms folk tradition into a high-octane, global spectacle. It is storytelling reimagined for the 21st century: raw, rhythmic, and undeniably cool.
