Ritmo Meets: dal:um

Dal:um are part of a new generation of artists reimagining traditional sounds, bringing curiosity and contemporary energy to Korea’s musical heritage. Ha Suyean and Hwang Hyeyoung both trained in classical gugak music, mastering two traditional zithers: the gayageum and the geomungo. With dal:um, they take these instruments in bold new directions, blending deep-rooted traditions with experimentation to create a sound that captures the creative pulse of 21st-century Seoul.
