Noreum Machi is a captivating new group from Korea that performs the virtuosic percussion music known as samulnori. First introduced to the West in the late 1970s by the legendary ensemble Samul-Nori, this exciting music had a huge effect in galvanizing the student movement in Korea and reengaging Koreans with their traditions. Samulnori is a modernized staged adaptation of p'ungmul nori, a ritualistic celebratory event with origins in shamanism and animism performed by rice farmers and professional musicians at harvest festivals. Noreum Machi's colorful program includes spectacular percussion dialogues, shamanic chants, and acrobatic dances.
