Day 38 ~ Korea Week ~ BUK



Buk is one of the main Korean percussion instruments. (wikidetails here)

An all-percussion traditional "genre" of music is called 'Samulnori" and includes the buk, the hourglass drum chang-gu, the small gong gwengari and the large gong jing.  
Chungju has a famous samulnori group, "Mulgae."

A famous cutting-edge Korean percussionist who seems to have found the overlap junction of traditional music and modern musical yearning is Choi, Sori.  

This 40-day Virtual World Tour of Music correlates with the World Music House kickstarter crowdfund. (Click the orange words for more details!)
