안녕하세요, my name is Dami, and I'm a SOAS music student specialising in Korean music.
The programme I'm presenting is part of a series that will encourage and inform people who don't know Korean traditional music and are interested in finding out more about this rarely heard music.
Join me on this journey as I will be going over various genres, instruments and the history of Korean traditional music, explaining them in detail with the hope of expanding both your knowledge as well as taste.
In the future I hope to talk in more detail about young up and coming artist in the world of Gugak 국악 with the hope that you will be able to see the development over the years and why this genre of music is so special and has lasted the test of times.
