About me

Location	Seoul, South Korea
Introduction	PROFILE Sonagi Project is a group of 5 young musicians leaded by Chang Jae Hyo and based on Korean traditional music, creating a modern and original performance linked with the Shamanic ceremonies of the peninsula seen with contemporary eyes. Concerts are usually built around Jang-Gu (two-heads drums), gongs and Pansori (traditional way to sing in the animist chants), performed with an assumed liberty regarding the musical techniques and the forms of the ancient rhythms. This liberty creates a strong relation with the original emotion of the tradition and the energy of the contemporary arts. Their creative approach to give to those traditional instruments a movement of renewal has highly impressed the music network in Korea, and since 2008 world premiere “Barame Soop – the forest of wind”, Sonagi Project is considered as one of the leading unit of the new generation of musicians. After many performances in Korea from autumn 2008, including two concerts in the brand-new National Museum of Korea in Seoul and a tour in Japan, the band tours in Brazil for 3 weeks in December 2009. All the members have also a long experience in teaching their instruments and rhythms around the world.
