Summer for the City Korean Arts Week: Dongyang Gozupa

The innovative trio Dongyang Gozupa blend the national folk songs known as gugak with prog rock, experimental music, and heavy metal with a completely unique, modern-meets-traditional post rock combo of bass guitar, drum kit, and the Korean traditional hammered dulcimer called the yanggeum. The result is a thrillingly fast-paced, bombastic wall of percussive sound that defies easy pigeonholing. Open-minded listeners will find the band’s 2022 sophomore album, KYUL, to be a treasure trove packed with aggressive shredding, instrumental flights of fancy and original compositions constructed with enrapturing complexity. This show is part of Lincoln Center’s continuing celebration of the spectrum of Korean performing arts, Korean Arts Week. There are two ways to access this FREE event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track, opening the Monday before the event at noon.
