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.

Gangjeong Village coastal scenery, Jeju

Gureombi Rock, the symbol of Gangjeong. This lava formation, shaped by waves over tens of thousands of years, was blasted in 2012 to make way for the naval base.

Gangjeong Peace Music Camp performance

But the memory of people who prayed, sang, and danced on Gureombi never faded. The story of this village — where peace prayers have been offered every morning for nearly 20 years — is the root of this camp.

Gangjeong Peace Music Camp night festival

Not with military bases, but with music. Not through confrontation, but through solidarity. Gangjeong Peace Music Camp is a festival built on this memory. Because the most beautiful resistance is singing together.

From Palestine to the Korean Peninsula — as long as war does not end, our song will not end either

Let's sing, let's dance, end the war!
