In January 2025, a new world of music has opened its door.
The crossover project ‘SPACE Nanjang’ of special artists such as jazz vocalist Woongsan, singer Lee Bong-geun, rapper MC Sniper, and modern dancer Iruda has presented a new single ‘Binari’. It was released through Universal Music at noon on January 10th.
‘Space Nanjang’ is a comprehensive arts project that presents an innovative stage that crosses the boundaries of tradition and modernity, East and West, and genre. It creates a unique artistic flow by fusing Korean traditional music, jazz, hip-hop, and modern dance. This is a collaborative space where Korea‘s best artists meet and harmoniously create their own colors, and the music and performance are creating new waves as they breathe with the audience.
‘Binari’ is a song played at gutpan or folk events to wish for good fortune and ward off misfortune, and has the characteristic of the singer breathing with the audience. Through the power of music, the audience communicates and empathizes, and experiences a moment of wishing for the well-being and prosperity of individuals and communities. It delivers a message that runs through the past, present, and future, containing our traditional culture, the cycle of nature, and a modern sensibility.
The climax of ‘Binari’ is a performance like an active volcano, with jazz vocalist Woongsan’s scat, singer Lee Bong-geun‘s vocals, rapper MC Sniper’s rap, and Choi Woo-jun‘s guitar taking turns. It is a moment of joy that truly presents a new world of music.
Here, Han Chung, Janggu Park Beom-tae, Geomungo Park Cheon-gyeong, Piano Kang Jae-hoon, Bass Shin Dong-ha, and Drums Shin Dong-jin join to add elegance, vitality, and depth to the music.
Woongsan said, “We recorded with the hope that everyone’s wishes for the new year 2025 will come true.”
