Final Descent and HUSET are thrilled to present the Korean group Leenalchi, who are infusing new, psychedelic energy into the traditional Korean musical storytelling form, Pansori. Expect centuries-old fairy tale storytelling and impressive vocal arrangements set against a backdrop of pulsating kraut-rock and groovy new-wave, all delivered live at HUSET’s stage for experimental music and theater, Xenon.
The alternative K-pop group Leenalchi breathes new life into the ancient Korean singing tradition of Pansori, presented in a candy-striped new wave universe reminiscent of Devo, Kraftwerk, and The B-52’s.
Leenalchi is an alternative K-pop group that has successfully reinterpreted the ancient Korean tale Sugungga. They have garnered three statuettes at the Korean Music Awards, and their debut performance of “Sugungga” on YouTube has gone viral, amassing over 18 million views.
The story unfolds in a mythical land inhabited by a dragon king, a softshell turtle, and a wily rabbit. This whimsical fantasy universe harmoniously blends with bubbly synths and funky rhythms inspired by electronic beat music from the 1970’s and 80’s
With a seven-member lineup, Leenalchi boasts four vocalists who skillfully blend traditional Korean singing with airy K-pop vocals. In live performances, Leenalchi delivers a complete musical storytelling experience that incorporates rap, dance, choral arrangements, and solo singing. They seamlessly fuse historical awareness with an irresistibly playful and comic-like lightheartedness.
K-pop has been gaining a growing audience in Europe, the USA, and beyond. Beyond the mainstream charts, numerous exciting experiments explore both the past and future of the genre, with Leenalchi boldly leading the way.
Final Descent og HUSET er glade for at kunne præsentere den koreanske gruppe Leenalchi, med deres psykedeliske take på den traditionelle musikalske historiefortælling, Pansori. Forvent et spraglet univers bestående af den århundrede gamle sagndramatisering og imponerende vokalarrangementer, leveret i et musikalsk univers bestående af pulserende kraut-rock og groovy new-wave, på HUSETs scene for eksperimenterende musik og teater, Xenon.
Den alternative K-pop-gruppe Leenalchi puster nyt liv i den ældgamle koreanske sangtradition Pansori, præsenteret i et farverigt new wave-univers, der minder om Devo, Kraftwerk og The B-52’s.
Leenalchi har med succes genfortolket den gamle koreanske fortælling "Sugungga". Det har sikret den charmerende gruppe tre statuetter ved Korean Music Awards og mere end 18 millioner afspilninger på YouTube.
Leenalchis fortællinger udspiller sig i et mytisk land beboet af en dragekonge, en skildpadde og en listig kanin. I dette fantasifulde univers mødes ældgamle koreanske sagn med sprudlende synthesizere og funky rytmer, inspireret elektronisk popmusik fra 70’erne og 80’erne.
Leenalchi er et ensemble, som vælter publikum omkuld med 7 personer på scenen, herunder fire sangere, der med største naturlighed kombinerer traditionel koreansk sang med vokalarrangementer, som kendetegner nutidens største musikgenre, K-pop. I deres liveoptrædener leverer Leenalchi en komplet musikalsk fortælleoplevelse, der inkorporerer rap, dans, korarrangementer og solosang. De forener problemfrit historisk bevidsthed med en legende og komisk lethed.
K-pop har fået et voksende publikum på tværs af kloden, og udover de store mainstream superstjerner, så eksisterer der også en urskov af eksperimenterende kunstnere, som skaber nye forbindelser mellem overdimensioneret superpop og den stolte koreanske kulturhistorie, med Leenalchi som et funklende stjerneeksempel.
