[@RavixOf4Horn]

Your music is beautiful and transcendent!! Please come to New England, I’ll buy tickets immediately.

[@Wordviews]

Thank you for the amazing performance! I would love to know, what is the wind instrument played by Lee Man Wol around the 17:45 mark?

[@joshbentley1290]

I play samulnori (사물놀이) in my college group and your band is making the music I dream of making! Much love to you all!

[@cosmicreciever]

KEXP is the cure when you get tired feeling like every band is doing the same thing

[@ADG7_official]

absolutely.agree

[@관운장KOR]

they are from china 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

[@ingridreim3205]

​​@@관운장KORNot South Korea?

[@NotChaix]

@@관운장KOR That's not true. ADG7 is from South Korea,

[@JShim]

I've been following this channel for more than several years, but never expected I would come across any traditional music from my country. So proud of them and thank you for letting people know the incrediblle band!!

[@cattyfram12]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? This was CRAZY GOOD! Never heard of them but i´m i love with them! The Energy is insane. I needed that! THANKS A LOT for bringing this into my life. Loved every secound of the Performance.

[@maxw5900]

Yes they ARE KIDDING YOU, it's one big joke.

[@benjiexmachina]

My exact reaction, my mouth was AGAPE at the end of that first track

[@rajo741]

@@maxw5900 yes that level of musical artistry is simply so they can have a laugh at our expense. You should talk to your doctor about why you have no capacity for joy in this life.

[@ignacioernesto]

ikr i burst into tears true story wast expecting that level of artistic power

[@lynnettereede6887]

Greetings! Check out the Korean group known as SsingSsing NPR Tiny Desk Concert. Have a GREAT day!

[@unamejames]

Wow I love it. Hee Hee is one of my new favorite songs. The little Motown dance moves were also cute. I have said it before but it bears repeating: Koreans have the best hats in world history.

[@olegivanov7236]

😄 u smart chicano

[@grouchotrout444]

They could just be "cool" looking moves, but I've seen similar movements in traditional Korean dance before. It's workin' whatever it is!

[@SchizoMelody]

They're technique of playing traditional instruments and scales with a rock and roll rhythm is amazing!

[@nathanhartono91]

i expected none of this but i am so happy i’ve found it.

[@keith_gregory]

I wish groups like this got more recognition, it’s so much more creative than the pop stuff.

[@Crinklechip-s]

Fantastic drumming. Unexpected punk energy!

[@jeongheeroussard2724]

I’m so proud of their perfomance, as one of korean, which is extraordinaire. This is a real korean Pop married between korean traditional song and 21st modern touch. Please come in Paris l’ll be there with my family and friends to see you all. Bravissimo!!!

[@소탐-w2w]

와~ 이곳에서 듣는 음악이 너무좋네요 물론 현장에서 관객들과 함게 하는 생동감은 없지만 음률 자체만 감상 하기엔 너무너무 감동적 입니다. 잡음 없는 사운드에 한분 한분 열정적인 연주자들 너무 감사 합니다

[@rajo741]

My God this might just be a tonic for an exhausted life…of course the synergy between vocals and instruments is extraordinary but these artist also provide us with lovely theatricality that you can’t help but smile at. Beautiful souls. Thank you.

[@georgedancy6411]

This is what I like to call, headphones music, because you hear every instrument individually and it makes the music come alive. What a wonderful sound they have

[@ospididious]

This isn't just music, this is magic. I love it.

[@RO8YO]

As I devour all the ADG7 youtube vids, KEXP truely nailed the sound quality of this performance. Kudos to the engineer(s), great work.

[@Jacklena]

Omg the energy is just marvelous. I’d love to see them live in Paris.

[@BoriSeeTV]

Thanks kexp! 악단광칠! 고맙습니다. 좋은 날입니다!

[@ADG7_official]

감사합니다😄😄아름다운 날이에요😍😍😍

[@eldude-iv8dw]

Man South Korea is killing it art wise between music, tv, and film. This is great to jam to, thanks for putting this up.

[@mikaelholz]

This is crazy, sounds like a movie soundtrack! Admiring from Brazil!

[@BokyV]

This is probably the most interesting band that I've seen this year. Asbolutely amazing!

[@Ic3crawler]

Holy shit, this is so different but such a breath of fresh air. Really impressed by their singing and playing. The way they make the syllables stand out with their sharp pronunciation is just so tight! And the fact that I've never even seen let alone heard most of these instruments makes it a blast to listen to the unique characteristics of the sound they produce.

Woah...What have I just experienced ??? It was beyond words !!! So intense ! I wanted to cry-laugh-scream-dance... Thank you ADG7 and thank you KEXP ! Geetings from France !

[@EezhamDemon]

Extremely fuck with this. Every single musician is ridiculously brilliant and their fashion sense is beautiful. To a reunified Korea.

[@owlmedicine5023]

KOREAN SHAMANIC FOLK-POP?!?! Uhmmmm AMAZING!!!! Absolutely incredible

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

@@NeyooxetuseiDreamer Well they got some traditional Korean shamanic instruments, or at least one, and I don't hear any funk. Weren't you thinking of a different band, like Leenalchi?

[@dawnpadfield4819]

I'm here after your show last night in Seattle! We were absolutely blown away. So many talented musicians on one stage, I didn't know where to look. It was otherworldly. Thank you for visiting us and for sharing your amazing energy and passion.

[@lozziecap]

Absolutely extraordinary.

[@Stallagmite]

The vocal layering is crazy cool!!!

[@ajlikins]

I've loved modern takes on traditional Korean music ever since Tiny Desk showed me the wonderful SsingSsing some years ago, and I'm so happy this ensemble is getting some international attention too! They even open with my favorite song! 🥰

[@PumpkinJane]

And this why I love KEXP so much

[@nandikesha]

13:45 brought me to LIFE. This is such an unbelievably wondrous performance. Thanks ADG7 and KEXP!

[@LayneBenofsky]

Incredible musical moment!!

[@adol2397]

As a korean feel shame I didn’t know this amazing musicians

[@vbayliss2366]

Bravo !! What a refreshingly charming band. You guys are the best thing happens in music scene in 2021. They gel together so tight !! Pls come to Melbourne Australia . Love to see you all here. 꼭 와주세요 !! Xx

[@Carlpark]

헐 대박 ,,, 자랑스럽습니다

[@the_trevoir]

This is so cool that I think maybe I am not cool enough to be allowed to listen to it. I love how it’s simultaneously droney, and very melodic at the same time. The weirdest thing is, even though it’s 0% electronic, it really reminds me of Stereolab sometimes.

[@good4gaby]

Incredible musicians, vocalists, performers, and composers and arrangers, etc Absolutely incredible. Glad I found you through KEXP on KZbin. ❤️

[@abigailcaine9828]

We just saw you at WOMAD AKG7!! and we are completely in love with you all 😃😃😃❤️❤️ instrumentalists and vocalists to blow your mind. Thank you 🙏

[@DisciplineandPunish]

It's such an energetic performance. Thx KEXP!!! KEXP에서 공연하는 악단광칠이라니... 이건 귀하네요... 그나저나 주로 국내팀이 녹음하고, 촬영한 악단광칠의 음악, 비주얼과 꽤나 다른 느낌이 드네요. 일단 악기 개별 선예도가 엄청나게 높고 마스터링도 다른 스타일이라 다른 음악같은 느낌까지 듭니다. 생경한데 좋네요. 영상 색감 역시 (긍정적으로나, 부정적으로나) KEXP필터 효과가 ㄷㄷ;;;; 아무튼 악단광칠 흥해라!!!

[@ADG7_official]

감사해요🤩🤩🤩

[@tuwapatrick]

Amazing 🤩. Now I want a collab with DakhaBrakha

[@artavanguardiaxxi3902]

Oh yeeeeeessss 😍😍😍😍

[@ADG7_official]

🎊🎊🎊🎊

[@PhokenKuul]

Oh yeah, I was thinking Ssing Ssing

[@vannguyen-ge2xu]

How about a collab with Animal Collective or Black Midi . ADG7 should be classified as Heavy Metal

[@TiborHunka]

Yes, these are my other favorites, this is the only way to play music.

[@smokedupgaming]

I've been lying sick for 2 days straight but this got me up dancing, what a fresh masterpiece!

[@christinajohnson6026]

Ive had them on repeat for a year now. love them!! Love the Korean traditional vocal tones!

[@TheBrettEnglish]

Did anyone else cry profusely, as the music woke up your soul and made you feel fully alive and joyful? 😳😭😃😃

[@onur4658]

No.

[@Lord_Heron]

Also no, I just enjoyed it in a more usual way, as a music lover.

[@ijmentalight]

Actually, that feeling is called 'han' in Korean. Kinda similar to the soul of Blues.

[@asd-foot-lettuce94]

I totally cried🥹♥️

[@johnnydrumbone]

This should be published as an album! Amazing!!! 🕺💃

[@Chris-pt6hh]

Their shows have to be such a dance party!

[@viator6653]

Уже несколько раз пересматриваю этот выпуск. Какая энергетика, просто восторг. Мой низкий поклон музыкантам.

That ending song is AMAZING (Whatever) and the drum beat makes me want to find more music with just that sound! What do I even search? BUM BUM BUM BUM, making my body bounce.
