Malmö Folk Festival: Park Jiha (KR)
Sound as light, time as texture.



Park Jiha has staked her place in the international music scene starting with her first solo album, ‘Communion’ (2018, tak:til/ Glitterbeat Records) acclaimed by critics for his eclectic instrumental palette collaborating with musicians from different backgrounds. Pitchfork said of the album, “Jiha’s gift is in her ability to skirt dull prettiness in favor of exploiting the edges of her instru- ments, yet not at the expense of tangible, straightforward melodies.”
With an approach rejecting ornamentation in favor of a stark clarity and meticulous balance she brought an even more personal aesthetic through her 2nd album ‘Philos’ (2019, tak:til / Glitter- beat) and her last release to date : ‘The Gleam’ (2022, tak:til / Glitterbeat) where she took Light and our interference with it throughout the day as the main inspiration for an immersive sound experience.
