February 12, 2021 - Celebrate the Year of Ox with a virtual concert by Ak Dan Gwang Chil . ADG7! This award-winning Korean traditional music group's powerful and engaging performance will immerse audiences into a spiritual experience and bring blessings of positive energy to kick off a new year. The nine-member ensemble presents itself not as earnest traditionalists, but as a giddy show band with all the trappings of K-pop — choreographed singers, candy-colored costumes and bouncy, upbeat, often swinging songs that link the concision of folk tunes to the catchy repetition of pop, with brash cymbals for drive and flute and zither lines for instrumental hooks. - The New York Times There's a flowering folk-roots revival in South Korea, but no band combines virtuosity, charisma, and pure energy like Ak Dan Gwang Chil. - WFMU
