A new breed of music that breaks the barrier between traditional and contemporary popular Korean music! 

Coreyah is a Korean/world music ensemble consisting of four performers of traditional Korean instruments, one guitarist, and one world percussionist. Though rooted in traditional Korean music, Coreyah strives to create “living Korean music” by absorbing and assimilating various world music heritages, such as Anglo-American rock music, Balkan gypsy music, and different genres from South America and Africa.
	Since its debut in 2010, Coreyah has been expanding its musical domain by actively blurring the distinction between traditional and contemporary popular music. In 2011, the band won the grand prize at a new Korean music competition called “Cheonchamanbyeol (all kinds of music) Concert” hosted by Bukchon Changwoo Theater, and in the same year was selected for “Tune Up,” a granting program for popular musicians sponsored by CJ Culture Foundation. The following year, Coreyah proved that traditional Korean music could attract just as much attention as flashy rock music when the group made it into the top 16 on KBS’s “Top Band II,” a band survival show. In the same year, the band was invited to “Sfinx Mixed,” a world music festival held in Belgium, and then toured four European countries. In 2013, Coreyah received the highest mark at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Since then Coreyah have performed in Australia, Singapore, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Qatar and Oman. The band is thus active both at home and abroad.
