K-Music Festival 2026: Chudahye Chagis
Hypnotic Shamanic Funk Beyond Genres
Sat 17 Oct | Rich Mix
Driven by a striking voice, Chu Dahye returns with psychedelic shamanic funk, blending traditional muga chants with funk, rock, jazz, and hip-hop to create a hypnotic ritual performance where music transforms into powerful collective energy.
Chu Dahye, the magnetic voice behind the electrifying RAVE that turned the Southbank Centre into a pulsating club night, returns to London with a bold new sonic vision.
With her band Chudahye Chagis, she brings a psychedelic funk rooted in shamanic chants (Muga) where voice blends ancient Muga with elements of reggae, jazz, hip-hop, funk, dance, and rock. This groundbreaking combination earned them widespread recognition, winning Best R&B/Soul Song at the Korean Music Awards in 2021 for Ritual Dance their first album. Their second album SOSUMINJOK went on to win Album of the Year and Best R&B/Soul Song at the 23rd Korean Music Awards in 2026, making them a double winner.
Built around a tight interplay of vocals, guitar, bass, and drums, the music unfolds like a living ritual—shifting between hypnotic grooves, explosive energy, and moments of haunting stillness. It is not just a concert, but a shared experience that blurs the line between stage and audience. Her performance carries an emotional intensity that is at once raw, theatrical, and deeply immersive.
Returning to London, Chu Dahye invites audiences into a performance that is visceral, unpredictable, and unforgettable—where tradition is not preserved, but vividly brought to life.
