Samulnori (사물놀이) - "Four instrument Percussion." Each instrument represents the elements of the rain. Originated in South Korea as a song for rainfall and a successful harvest. Also referred to as "poongmul (풍물)."
The beauty of samulnori comes from the strong individual sounds coming together and blending as a wonderful harmony. Thus,
a true "samulnori" player must master values of harmony, cooperation, and humbleness, all core essentials of the Korean culture. Through a samlunori performance, I have tried to deliver these messages as a way of expressing my values and embodiment of my Korean heritage.
The following videos show some of the performances I directed and participated in.
Please enjoy and love Samulnori!
