The Korean Cultural Service New York is pleased to present “Barame Soop(Forest, Wind and Rain)” performed by Sonagi Project, one of the leading percussion groups in Korea.
“Barame Soop” concerts are built around janggu(two-headed, hour-glass shaped drums), gongs and pansori(narrative, story-telling folk opera), performed with an assumed liberty regarding the musical techniques and the forms of the ancient rhythms. Sonagi Project created its own performance in 2008 by using Korean traditional instruments. “Baramesoop” has been favorably reviewed and influenced on folk music area of Korea.
Sonagi Project is a Korean percussion group, which is consisting of five musicians, led by Chang Jea Hyo. The group has created modern, original music on the basis of Korean traditional rhythms and chants. Being inspired to Korea’s shamanic culture and the vocal art of Pansori, Sonagi’s performances have expressed an exciting emotion, the pathos from deep bottom of Korean heart and dynamic energy of Korean traditional music. They have made an effort on contemporary translation to Korea’s traditional music.
