In 1978, four musicians crowded into a cramped basement theater in
downtown Seoul, where they, for the first time, brought the rural
percussive art of p'ungmul to a burgeoning urban audience. In doing
so, they began a decades-long reinvention of tradition, one that
would eventually create an entirely new genre of music and a
national symbol for Korean culture. Nathan Hesselink's "SamulNori"
traces this reinvention through the rise of the Korean supergroup
of the same name, analyzing the strategies the group employed to
transform a museum-worthy musical form into something that was both
contemporary and historically authentic, unveiling an intersection
of traditional and modern cultures and the inevitable challenges
such a mix entails. Providing everything from musical notation to a
history of urban culture in South Korea to an analysis of
SamulNori's teaching materials and collaborations with
Euro-American jazz quartet Red Sun, Hesselink offers a deeply
researched study that highlights the need for traditions - if they
are to survive - to embrace both preservation and innovation.
