Electronic/world music
Limebócx is a duo from Hanoi, Vietnam. Somewhere between tradition and futurism, Limebócx lurks. Blending nostalgic đàn tranh (Việt zither) riffs, looped vocal harmonies, driving basslines, shimmering guitars and smooth electronic production, this revisioning of Ca Trù awakens a sensitive, soulful side of northern Vietnamese culture.
Longing for expressing music in their most natural way, Limebócx’s way of blending Vietnamese traditional sound into modern music represents freedom and eclecticism without being pigeonholed into any specific genre or rules.
By taking elements of modern musical genres such as electronica and dub, combining them with traditional Vietnamese music, folk and poetry, Limebócx has managed to create a sound that is entirely their own.
