[온스테이지2.0] 이날치 - 범 내려온다(with 앰비규어스 댄스컴퍼니)
alt text
On a relatively bare purple stage, a group of singers, rock drummer and two electric bassists sing and play while a large number of eccentrically dressed dancers prance and writhe around them.
Leenalchi is a pansori/pop fusion band. Pansori being a traditional folk music, the singers are recruited from Seoul Nat'l University's traditional music department. It's a pretty demanding style of singing, watch and you'll see. The band is named after a 19th century pansori master.
The South Korean music scene's been making very interesting hybrids of traditional and modern forms for at least a decade. See also Jambinai's postrock fusion.
I love how they also dressed the dancers in a very random mix of modern street wear and pieces from traditional outfits.
This was a viral hit on Korean internets about half a dozen years ago. Two basses, no guitars, pretty tight groove. The lyrics are adapted from tradition, I couldn't find a straightforward translation but this looks like a decent explainer: https://studykoreanatho.me/leenalch...
TIL the founding bassist also does film soundtracks and scored "Train to Busan".
