Product Description
Sanjo is a style of Korean traditional music, centered aorund a single instrument accompanied by janggu drum. Sanjo embodies various characteristics of Korean traditional music, drawing on traditions such as operatic pansori, shaministic sinawi and aristocratic chamber music, pungnyu. Originallly developed at the end of the 19th century for the gayageum, the sanjo was adopted for other instruments, including the transverse bamboo flute, the daegeum. Park Jong-Gi is considered to be the creator of Daegeum Sanjo, and the artist heard on this album, Han Joo-Hwan was one of his disciples. These recordings date back to the 1950s, originally on 78s, LPs and reel to reel tape. Current master, Seo Yong Seok, learnt under Han Joo-Hwan, so the original style has been passed down through the generations.
