WOOONTA is a Taiwan-based world music ensemble centered around the distinctive dialogue between the erhu and sitar—two instruments rooted in different Asian musical traditions. Founded in 2015 and led by erhu player T.S. Lo, with Japanese sitarist and music director Ryohei Kanemitsu “Yo” as a core member, the group brings together Asian traditional music, contemporary composition, improvisation, and cross-cultural influences to create a sound uniquely their own.
In 2017, WOOONTA received the Best Arrangement Award at Taiwan’s Golden Melody Awards for Traditional Arts and Music and earned a four-star review from The Scotsman at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Since then, the ensemble has appeared on stages across Taiwan, Europe, and Asia, including the Luzern Music Festival, WMF@Taiwan, Asia-Pacific Traditional Arts Festival, Tallinn Music Week, Czech Music Crossroads, and the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
Through the encounter of erhu and sitar, WOOONTA continues to explore new possibilities for traditional instruments in contemporary world music, creating a musical language that moves freely across cultures, traditions, and borders.
