Samul nori

Samul nori (Korean: 사물놀이; lit. four objects play) is a genre of Korean percussion music. It is a modern adaptation of traditional Korean musics, namely the ritual farming music nongak and Korean shamanic music muak, for the indoor stage.

As per its name, samul nori is performed with four traditional Korean musical instruments: a small gong kkwaenggwari, the larger gong jing, an hourglass-shaped drum janggu; and a barrel drum called buk.

With dozens of professional and amateur groups, samul nori has been called "Korea’s most successful traditional music".
