Black String
Founded in 2011, the Korean band has become known for its innovative fusion of traditional Korean music, jazz and contemporary sounds. The band, consisting of Yoon Jeong Heo (geomungo, traditional Korean zither), Aram Lee (daegeum and yanggeum, traditional flutes), Jean Oh (electric guitar) and Min Hwang (percussion), combines Western and Eastern music traditions in a unique way. Black String has performed at major festivals worldwide and was honoured with the prestigious Korean Music Award in 2028. Their music is characterised by creative improvisation and a profound cultural expressiveness that bridges the gap between ancient tradition and modern recreation.
