<A Walk Through My Hometown: JEJU Ep 3>


Wongijarang by JART Ensemble

Wongijarang is a traditional lullaby of Jeju, or rather, a hymn sung as they rock the babies’ cradles. The current version uses the most beautiful and representative melodies and rearranges them with a modern touch.

JART is an abbreviation of Jeju Art. The JART Ensemble is a group formed by young artists based in Jeju Island who are dedicated to creating new artistic values and developing and spreading the traditional culture of Jeju Island.
