True Korean Music

Korean shaman music is an etermal source of inspiration for me. Listen to authentic korean music for a while:

KIM Sohee, "Guǔm" (김소희, 구음)

For me as a korean born and grew up in Germany shaman music is one the things which are authentic "Korean". Listen to the voice of the female pansori master KIM Sohee on the recording, She is improvising over a complex shaman rhythm-cycle of the percussion group. The Changgu is playing unbelievable variations over this uneven rhythm - this is Korean rhythm feeling! Nowhere in the world you can find something similar. It's the sound of nature with deep soul. Eternal.
