Artists/South Korea
Korean traditional music encompasses both the refined court music tradition and the vibrant folk traditions of pansori storytelling, samulnori percussion, and shamanistic ritual music. Korean music is characterized by a distinctive rhythmic feel and an emotional quality called han — a bittersweet longing that runs through much of the tradition.
