Sonagi Project is a Korean percussion ensemble that draws upon traditional sources to create new, dynamic Korean music. The group breathes new life into Korea’s traditional drumming as it brings these instruments into the 21st century, and performing tradition-based yet original repertoire for contemporary audiences, both domestically and abroad.
Sonagi Project creates music informed by various traditional genres. Building on the traditional forms to give its music contemporary sensibility, Sonagi Project takes liberties in certain techniques and rhythms, and at times embraces sources from outside. Indeed, some of its original works contain African and Brazilian influences. Yet its music preserves the sentiment, emotion, and spirit of Korean tradition.CHANG Jae-hyo / Vocal, percussion
