Pansori is a traditional Korean music genre distinguished by its captivating storytelling and dynamic vocal performances. Often featuring a singer-narrator (sorikkun) and a drummer (gosu), this art form combines expressive vocals, spoken narration, and rhythmic drumming to convey epic tales, historical narratives, or folklore. Pansori is characterized by its powerful, emotive singing techniques that require both stamina and precision, allowing performers to convey a wide array of emotions and dramatic nuances. Modern practitioners infuse traditional elements with contemporary influences, ensuring its enduring appeal and relevance. Notable artists like Bora Yoon and Park Dongjin exemplify the innovation within pansori, bridging its rich heritage with modern sensibilities.
