About

Our Songs for Peace

We first sang in front of Gureombi Rock in Gangjeong Village, Jeju, where the rough winds blow. We realized that peace is not a grand slogan, but begins the moment we listen to each other's voices.

Gangjeong Peace Music Camp is a solidarity and festival of musicians dreaming of a world without war. Beyond borders and languages, we speak of peace with music, the most beautiful weapon.

When we sing, dance, and embrace each other together, war will stop and the waves of peace will spread further.

Sustainable Peace

The first harmony began in the summer of 2023. Our festival will continue not as a one-time event, but as a persistent and beautiful ritual of peace guarding the summer of Gangjeong every year.

Solidarity Without Borders

We remember conflict zones from the Gaza Strip in Palestine to Ukraine. Gangjeong Peace Music Camp goes beyond a simple concert; it is a powerful platform of solidarity standing with those suffering and yearning for peace.
