Soniccouture – Samulnori Percussion (KONTAKT, EXS24)

Samulnori is a type of Korean percussion, consists of four main instruments: Puk, Janngu, Jing and K’Kwaenggwari.

The Samulnori ensemble consists mainly of four main instruments: Puk, Janngu, Jing and K’Kwaenggwari. In a minimal ensemble there will be just one of each, but you will also see more groups with four or more of each instrument. However, even in these larger groups, the role of each instrument is the same. Each one represents an element of nature, the Jing being the wind, the Janggu the rain, the Puk the clouds, and the K’kwaenggwari the lightning.
