The concert series curated by Notwist and Umfeld is our guest at Bellevue for the third time, this time with musicians from Japan and Taiwan, followed by Alien Puzzle DJs.
Maya Ongaku (Japan), Mong Tong (Taiwan)
+ Alien Puzzle DJs
Maya Ongaku is a collective of musicians from the coastal communities around Enoshima. The origin of the band, currently a trio consisting of Tsutomu Sonoda, Ryota Takano, and Shoei Ikeda, can be found in a vintage store called Ace General Store, where in between talking, assembling the vinyl section, and serving the cash register, the musicians also find time for jam sessions and music recording in the studio also located there.

Behind Mong Tong are two brothers who, after graduating from college, set out to learn more about their shared obsession: Taiwanese occult-inspired art and ancient superstitious imagery and translating it into music. To make this music, they use psychedelic-sounding gamelan music, phin guitar, tabla drums and Taiwan sisomi.
