SamulNori

As physically powerful as Japanese kodo and as polyrhythmically intricate as West African drumming, SamulNori takes the concert hall by storm with thrilling percussion and acrobatic dance. Founded to preserve the music of Korea’s itinerate performers who for centuries have entertained farming villages, the group has sparked a renaissance in Korean traditional performing arts and brought “ferocious grooves” (The Huffington Post) to more than 3,000 stages around the world.
