“Leenalchi has changed the way I think about music, dancing and Korea. I have never heard anything quite like this.” — Brian Eno

Leenalchi (EEE-nal-chi) — is a seven-piece band from Seoul that draws on the folk storytelling tradition of pansori, and will remind you of the Talking Heads.

Their line-up is as singular as their sound – featuring two bassists, drums, keys, no guitar, and three singers.

Like many old languages, Korean is full of onomatopoeias, words that echo the sounds heard in the surrounding world. Kwal-kwal (콸콸) is the sound of a running stream. Gaegul-gaegul (개굴개굴) goes the frog. Saegeun-saegeun (새근새근) mimics the soft, somnolent breath of a baby or a cat. These, of course, have easy English analogs: the drip-drop of rain, the frog ribbits, the baby cries wah.

More elusive in English are mimetic words, or words whose sounds are meant to capture a sensation—the sound of a motion or even an emotion. In Korean, these types of words are called uitaeeo (의태어). A slippery floor is mikkeul-maekkeul (미끌매끌). Sol-sol (솔솔) is a kind of gentle and subtle slowness, like in a breeze or a scent. Umul-chumul (우물쭈물) describes hesitation.

The repetition in these words create their own rhythmic unit; each word functions like the tiniest of songs. And though one might not know how to speak Korean, somehow, as in music, these subtle inflections of sound transmit meaning beyond specific language.

Like Beowulf, pansori is told in an ancient version of the Korean language. Still, the sounds emitting from Leenalchi’s singers are transcendent, as if reverberating in our ears from a spiritual plane.

Imagine a musical version of Hamlet set to a juicy, tripped-out bass hook.

✨Plus, Dustin Wong returns to Current Space to make an already special night truly unmissable! He builds immersive instrumentals layer-by-layer using guitar loops, keys, and electronic textures for a mesmerizing live performance.
