CHUDAHYE CHAGIS
ABOUT
CHUDAHYE CHAGIS is a genre-defying psychedelic shamanic funk band led by Chu Dahye, a sorikkun (Korean traditional vocalist) whose voice channels the soul of traditional Korean music. Their distinctive sound blends ancient Muga (shamanic songs or chants in Korean) from the Pyeong’an, Jeju, and Hwanghae Provinces with elements of reggae, jazz, hip-hop, funk, dance, and rock. This groundbreaking combination has earned them widespread recognition, including the 2021 Best R&B/Soul Song award at the 18th Korean Music Awards.
The band’s name, “Chagi,” which means “someone’s share” or “something you claim” in Korean, reflects their deep sense of collaboration. With Lee Si-mun on guitar, Kim Jae-ho on bass, and Kim Da-vin on drums, CHUDAHYE CHAGIS creates a unified, dynamic sound that invites listeners to make their music their own personal “Chagi”—a shared experience that transcends genre and tradition.
