Blending traditional Korean music with contemporary sounds, the band Juris Kuns creates a unique form of music that stands on the border between tradition and modernity. Led by Juri Kim, who plays the haegeum (traditional Korean string instrument), the band uses various traditional Korean instruments combined with modern instrumentation, such as acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and percussion, to produce a truly innovative sound.
“Passage”
The performance entitled “Passage”, which is also the title of Juris Kuns’s first album, illustrates a coexisting universe between the traditional past and the present modern as well as the east and the west. Through their harmonized music on stage, the artists succeed in enhancing the communication and connection of the traditional music and adding a new element to modern music.
