Korean Music
Korean traditional performance. LA 2012
I have grown up in Korea since I was born but I have never been to Korea traditional music concert in my life. It was my very first time to try to listen Korean music. I didn’t expect that much how much it would to be interesting for me. My first thought about the Korean music was “boring” because I know its beat and rhythm are really slower then other countries music. But my whole experience at the music concert totally made my bias different. Last time I went another Korean music concert a few months ago, I just went with my classmates but at this time I told all my friends out of my school to go with me because it was fun! When I walked into to the concert I was really shock that so many people came to join and I saw many foreigner people in there. I took a sit with my friends and I got an information note for the music show. I did not have any knowledge about the Korean traditional music so I was kind of totally out of it. After my professor had an announcement shortly, the show began. I really liked the first show because one of my classmates performed there. The first performance was the very highlight and last part of the Korean classical music is called “Samulnori, Buksori” was performed at the very last. The roots of amul nori come from ‘nog-ak’ which is known as famers music. A special ensemble called Samulnori was formed in the late 70s in Korea. Embedded depply in Korean heritage, samul nori depicts traditional Korean culture, an agricultural society roote in the natural environment. Through this music, I would feel the kinda of divinity. It was performed with UCLA sutuends and professor with our traditional Korean costumes. Prof. Dong suck is now respected as a great performer, and teacher of samulnori at UCLA. Samulnori means four instruments or object and it is called the genre of traditional percussion music in Korean. Upbeat sound of Samulnori heightened the agitation of the concert. This samulnori sounded
