Jambinai Onda

Jambinai’s third album, repressed due to demand.

When the three founders of Jambinai decided to,“communicate with the ordinary person who doesn’t listen to Korean traditional music,”few outsiders anticipated an extraordinary fusion with metal, post-rock and noise. “Most people expect Asian traditional music to make something smooth for yoga or meditation,” says band spokesman LeeIl-woo. “We wanted to break all of that.”

Even fewer would have predicted that the likes of Jambinai would play the 2018 Winter Olympic Games closing ceremony in their home city of Seoul, accompanied by a troupe of geomungo (Korean zither) players - an audio visual spectacle that such an occasion demanded. Now comes‘ONDA’, their spectacular album on Bella Union.
