After winning a special rookie of the year award from broadcaster EBS in 2011, Jambinai has performed at a wide variety of venues, from Doosan Art Center to Pentaport Rock Festival. The band creates a new form of music that mixes heavy post-rock and avant-garde, played on Korean traditional instruments like the haegeum, the piri and the geomungo, and electric guitars and electronics.

Their intense, explosive performances have won them devoted fans on Hongdae’s indie scene. 2013 is a good year for the band, with 2 nominations and winning the best crossover award during the Korean music awards and their first concert outside Korea in Helsinki Finland, soon to be followed by performances at Womex Cardiff and Oslo WMF.
