The Unique Art of Pansori, Part 1


Pansori, the art of singing and telling a story to the accompaniment of a drummer, is one of the things you ought to put on your checklist of experiences when you're in Korea. It may not be easy to find a 'live' performance so it was a rare occasion when I counted myself lucky to be in a tour group in Jeonju as we were able to watch a performance at the Traditional Cultural Centre there.

This youtube recording though comes from a TV show. Pity I don't have a translation but the power of her animated delivery speaks for itself and I'd like to think it transcends linguistic and national boundaries.
