Leenalchi

Leenalchi 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. The band’s creator and visionary, the bassist Gyu Young Jang, is also behind several beloved movie soundtracks and the iconic now-disbanded art band SsingSsing, which NPR Tiny Desk's Bob Boilen described as "one of my most memorable Tiny Desk Concerts of all time."
