The Korean Heart Beat
Korean drumming, known as pungmul nongak (Korean farmers’ music and dance) or samulnori, is rooted in a long history on the Korean peninsula. It is a cultural legacy—a heartbeat of vital energy and resilience. This percussive music has long been used to encourage workers, unify communities, and bring joy to the people. It is not merely about the aesthetics of Korean performing arts, but about the shared human experience of our society.
Welcome to the World of Korean Drumming
Through this “Korean heartbeat,” you will discover more than just the beauty of the music; you will rediscover your own identity as someone who values community, love, and peace.
Rooted in Community
Just as a flower cannot exist without its roots, trees may appear to stand alone, but beneath the surface, their roots connect and vitalize one another. In this same way, the communal spirit defines Korean drumming.
