NARSHA by EJ Hwang
The collaborative, revitalizing sound that Hwang has continually pursued throughout her career has resulted in this multi-cultural jazz album – where the creative talents of musicians in jazz and traditional Korean ‘Samulnori’ meet.
“NARSHA” represents the accumulation of Hwang’s journeys into modern jazz, Korean traditional music, jazz-classical crossover.
It is a multi-cultural and philosophical work, one that stimulates the curiosities of the listener and guides them on a spiritual journey into new musical territories and experiences.
