Kareni Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 UPDATE BELOW INITIAL POST! Below you'll find a link of my daughter making some happy music. She has been playing samulnori, Korean traditional percussion, since shortly after arriving in Korea in 2013. She's sitting front and center in the introduction. During the performance, she's sitting slightly right of center playing the kkwaenggwari, a small, handheld gong. The other instruments are the Jing, a larger gong; Janggu, an hourglass-shaped drum; and Buk, a barrel drum. She and the expat samulnori team are competing in a virtual competition in which number of viewers [helps] determines the winners. So, please watch this three minute video and share the video with others.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGqP6KC22gk *** UPDATE on January 27, 2021: My apologies for the late update. The 2020 K-Community Challenge had entrants in five different categories, each a traditional Korean art: Talchum (dance), Ganggangsullae (dance), Minyo (song), Samulnori (instrumental), and Taekwonmu (movement). Each category had three prizes - a special award, a bronze award, and a silver award. One of the five silver awards was announced the overall/gold award winner. I'm happy to say that my daughter's team was the winner (silver) in the Samulnori category! (The performance link is here). All of the winners are shown at this link. At the bottom of the page, you can see video links for all fifteen winning performances. The gold award was earned by a Talchum performer in Bulgaria. You can see her performance here. Thank you once again to those who watched the performance when I posted originally in October. Regards, Kareni 21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She loved it especially when I told her your daughter lives in Korea and this is her "band". My daughter told me to tell your daughter, someday she plans to go to Korea and have her own band too. 😀 I will definitely share your daughter's story with mine, Dreamergal. My daughter is also a BTS fan, so they have something in common! Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there are quite a few here or related to those here. One of my daughter's disappointments in these Coronavirus times is that the BTS concert for which she had tickets was cancelled.

Kareni Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 One of the other samulnori team members has been looking at the statistics concerning their performance video. She shared with my daughter that most of the viewers came from Facebook. The second largest group, some 15% of the viewers, came from a site called the Well-Trained Mind. Ever heard of it?! Thank you for watching the video. Regards, Kareni 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm bumping this up for those who may have missed it. Her team has accumulated over 2100 views now which is impressive, but my daughter said a competing Canadian team is rapidly racking up views. The drama!

Sunshine State Sue Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Wow! I have never seen anything like that. Quite fascinating, especially the ones who were banging both sides of the drum with one hand towards the end. I am so amazed at young (especially) women who travel/live overseas. I would never have had the courage. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first of the four instruments that my daughter learned to play. Thanks for watching the video. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
