ADG7

With one foot in the world of tradition and another in glitzy upbeat pop, ADG7(Ak Dan Gwang Chil) is a multi-award winning group featuring three powerhouse female folk singers and a rich repertoire inspired by Korea's sacred, shamanic ritual music(gut) and beloved folk songs(minyo) of Hwanghae Province in the northern reaches of the Peninsula. Their powerful performances engage and immerse like no other, presenting the spiritual blessings and positive energy of traditional music in a thoroughly modern and often comical style.

ADG7 was organized in 2015, the year Korea commemorated its 70th anniversary of national liberation. By reconnecting with and reimaging shared Korean cultural roots, ADG7 expresses the true meaning of liberation and the desire for unification. They recently won multiple awards including Best Group at the 2018 KBS Korean Traditional Music Award and Sori Frontier Award at the 2017 Jeonju International Sori festival. ADG7 has recently performed at WOMEXWorld Music Expo) 2019 and globalFEST 2020 as one of their official artists, and become one of 2020-2021 Mid Atlantic Tour Roster Artists.
