Learn about the Korean buk (double-headed barrel drum) by watching and listening to a man play the type of buk that accompanies pansori narrative singing.
The dongpyeonje style of pansori, which originated in the eastern Jeolla region of South Korea, is characterized by a deep, controlled vocal projection and a straightforward rhythmic approach. This school is specifically associated with the following three song cycles:
- Heungbuga
- Sugungga
- Jeokbyeokga
These works are noted for their emphasis on the vigorous ujo melodic mode, distinguishing them from the song cycles typically favored by the seopyeonje school.1
