Puri

It was 5th July, 2013. At National Theater of Korea, Seoul I attended a very powerful and unique totally musical performance by a group named Puri.
This performance was one of the very best one of Yeowoorak Festival,July 2013.
Me with couple of my friends reached Dongguk University subway station, near from exit 6 we caught Shuttle bus service for National Theater of Korea.
This group is famous for composing a different type of music using many types of old, traditional music instruments mixed with some of the modern ones like electric guitar and piano thus combining both traditional and old music with a unique touch of modern music very beautifully. This group is internationally recognized and that show was also going live on T.V as many cameras were there for recording.
They composed some really amazing tracks using many different music instruments. the group leader also sung couple of traditional songs along with others.
Many types of instruments were used to create such music like different types of drums then flutes.
Song were in Korean language so we foreigners did know what was those all about but they seemed to be very motivating as one of the track moved all the audiences very much and it was very powerful and theatrical.
Stage overall was according to the theme and dressing by all group members was also traditional.

This group consisting of musicians like magicians. Every member of the group is very talented.
As each one can play more the one instrument and some of them can sing beautifully. This group is internationally famous for their unique style of music combining traditional Korean music and instruments with the modern music. This combination of new complex music with simple music is always difficult to compose and to make something worth enjoying. But as i said when professional and experts excel in any field they usually make masterpieces. So it was exactly there in Puri.


Once again a great performance arranged for me by KTO.
