Monday 30th May at 8 pm in the Korean Cultural Center

Free admission, reservation required: info@kccbrussels.be, tel. 02 274 2980

6 musicians from diverse genres join creative forces in the eccentric music band Ssing Ssing. The group welds two totally disparate elements: rock band music and the typical authentic, somewhat oscillating vocals from Korean folk songs, while also including elements from ballads, pop music and shamanist rituals. In a fast-growing society where people tend to stray away from traditional rituals, Ssing Ssing brings them back in touch with the cultural roots of Korea through a very playful style, accessible for 21^st century urban citizens. Ssing Ssing’s bizarre vibe creates a fun and laidback atmosphere. Adding up to the experience is Ssing Ssing’s very extravagant visual style and stage manners full of energy.

One of the band’s singers, Hee-moon Lee, inherited the skill of singing Gyeonggi Folk songs (the Important Intangible Cultural Asset No. 57 of Korea), and music director/bass guitarist Young-gyu Jang is a blockbuster film music director. The other band members are Da-hye Choo (Vocal), Seung-tae Shin (Vocal), Chul-hee Lee (Drum), Tae-won Lee (Electric guitar/Keyboard).
