Ladakh is Kris Auman op contrabas en Nele De Gussem op gitaar. Het duo heeft ervaring opgedaan bij uiteenlopende bezettingen, gaande van jazzformaties over hedendaags klassieke ensembles tot rockbands. 
Ladakh klinkt als een kruising van oude muziek met melancholische balkanmelodieën en kronkelende improvisatie. Het is een plek waarnaar het publiek woordenloos wordt meegevoerd, begeleid door de zusterlijke timbres van contrabas en gitaar.

With “Uma Chine” (Starman records, 2019) the eponymous band serves a delightful mix of experimental pop and conquers its place in the Belgian pop scene. “Wonderful debut”, OOR magazine judges. The layers of the voices, twisted guitar sounds and synths, and the original turns in the songs make for “an uncanny beautiful record”. Uma Chine intrigues the public with their particular style and live energy; the band has been touring in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France and Swiss since the release of their debut.
Uma Chine’s second album will be released in 2021.
