Orgeltanz is a combination of two words orgel(a word used for a music box) and tanz(meaning 'dance'in german), it's not exactly true that they make people dance to the orgel, they do more than that.


They've got an accordion, guitars, percussions, a violin plus belly dancing. They are buskers but mind you, they do more than that too.

They've played in several big festivals- seoul fringe festival, Jeonju international film festival, Save Tibet Festival, Grand Mint Festival as well as wandering around the world busking on the streets.

The colorful muiscal idea of orgeltanz was originally brought by two musicians, Marca Marco(accordion, vocal) and Miong(acoustic guitar), who were former powerful guitarists of a indie pychidelica band 'Nenoon', and the whole thing began to boil as soon as they were joined by Angel(violin), Shoonguli(acoustic guitar, percussion), Hamin(percussion) Bassudeng(bass).

They wanted to create music that has the soul of bohemian roots as well as reach the heart of people passing by, and eventually there they were, doing busking-heating streets everywhere-making people stop and listen to their stories. Finally they were met by belly dancer eshe and the band get to visualize their music not just by the rich sound they give, also by energetic and delicate movements of eshe leads in the show.

Now their 1st album 'From the cradle to the grave' is out.
Various forms of world music genre are melted in their 12 songs, rhythm of tengo, gypsy-esq melodies, touch of breezy bossa nova are all on the dish. Spiced with theatrical vocal charm, backed by rich sound and thrilling phrase changes both in mood and rhythms, the songs are as lively as the ocean of endless rhythms and colors, has more tales to tell than the book of the Thousand Nights and a Night.
