Again after 5 years: Puri Music Group in South Korea

Puri is a world music group which performs in South Korea in every 5 years time span enabling the audience to look back in the past to get some know-how of traditions and culture through music.

 The performance was held in National Theater of Korea, on Dongguk university station, Jung-gu, Seoul on Friday, 5th July, 2013.
The performance hall was quite spacious and beautiful having the capacity to encapsulate almost 800 people. The show was of 2 hours in total and was enjoyable enough. As this time, the group was celebrating its 20th anniversary, the performers were performing to their full capabilities and they were really good at music and at singing as well.



The Puri music basically is a mixture of traditional and modern music instruments which creates an unbelievable musical rhythms very pleasant for ears. I enjoyed the music as well as the audience's full support translated in claps. Although, the language was not understandable for a few of us, but even than the rhythms were very blunt and soothing. An interesting thing was that pansori; which is a traditional song performed by a woman, was performed by a man who gather a plenty of claps on the part of the audience.
