The traditional Korean musical, Samulnori, is meant to be performed by playing four percussions: Kkwaenggwari, Janggu, Buk, and Jing. Each instrument symbolizes nature.
About
Samulnori is an adaptation of a large-scale outdoor Pungmulnori as a stage art in 1978.
Samulnori folklore almost disappeared and informed to foreign countries. In the 1960s, there was a crisis that traditional culture almost disappeared due to the poor awareness of it. Then, four people formed a team in 1980 to start a samulnori performance. The first samulnori team has derived many domestic and international performances and events opportunities including national events.
Origin
Samulnori and Pungmul
Samulnori's roots came from Pungmul Nori. Pungmulnori emphasizes the activities of outdoor performances along with large-scale play, Samulnori emphasizes the impression that can be felt in the performance itself.
Samulnori also adapted the rhythm of Gyeonggi-do as well as Yeongnam folk music. Yeongnam is a compilation of the Gyeongsang-do rhythm with the Pungmul rhythm. Samdo is collected composition of the three major Samulnori rhythms (Uddari, Yeongnam, Honam) into one piece.
Practice
For newcomers, you will first choose an instrument between Janggu and Buk. Then, proceed to learn the fundamentals of the instrument and breathing techniques. Harmony is also crucial in Samulnori. To avoid this, the team put a lot of effort into group tuning.
— Weekly meeting/practice used to be on Monday and Thursday 6th and 7th period. However, due to covid19, we are having zoom meetings once a week and irregular small group practices.
