Music

Korean traditional music can be divided into two parts. One is Jung-Ak which was enjoyed by the upper classes and the other is Min-Sok-Ak, which was used by the folk.

There are many styles in Min-Sok-Ak, which are Sanjo, Pansori, Jabga, Minyo, and Pungmul. We are going to introduce Pungmul.

Pungmul

It is a very typical folk music. It was enjoyed by most Korean farmers for their amusement.
For Pungmul, four Korean typical percussion instruments and two strings instruments are used. Sang-Swe, the leader, directs his team on a geometrical figure or strict line figure.
