Collection: Korean Traditional

Korean Traditional music encompasses a rich tapestry of sounds and styles that have been passed down through generations, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Korean peninsula. This genre is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the gayageum (zither), daegeum (flute), and janggu (drum), which create a distinctive sonic landscape. Two prominent sub-genres within Korean Traditional music are Pansori and Korean Classical Performance. Pansori is a dramatic vocal art form that combines storytelling with music, featuring a lone singer accompanied by a drummer, while Korean Classical Performance typically involves intricate instrumental ensembles and refined vocal techniques. Both sub-genres showcase the depth and complexity of Korean musical tradition, often incorporating elements of philosophy, history, and folklore into their performances.
