Samulnori

Written By mijin kwon

Samulnori is a form of traditional Korean percussion ensemble music performed with four instruments: the kkwaenggwari (small gong), janggu (drum), buk (barrel drum), and jing (large gong). Each instrument symbolizes different elements of nature, with the kkwaenggwari representing thunder, the jing representing wind, the janggu representing rain, and the buk representing clouds. KRC has been teaching Samulnori for over 40 years. This traditional music is accessible to all ages and is often performed in collaboration with orchestras or jazz bands, showcasing its versatility.
