Rito is a contemporary music collective that blends Korean traditional melodies with electronic sound, unfolding a unique sonic world. Rooted in the spirit of Tori, the melodic essence of Korean music, Rito brings together piri, traditional percussion, and electronic music to shape new musical rituals.

Where tradition meets the contemporary,

Where memory flows into improvisationㅡ

A special experience awaits, where sound becomes ritual.
