Pansori: South Korea’s Authentic Musical Storytelling

[@EmiliaRose-i2h]

I'm here because of Kim Tae-ri. I didn't know anything about Pansori before, and the more I learn about it, the more I'm amazed by how Kim Tae-ri put so much time and effort into studying it. She is truly a great actor! I am truly invested in her new show, Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born. It’s a must-watch, especially since it's the first-ever Pansori K-drama, as far as I know!

[@oumaimahouisse4660]

me too I became obsessed with this type of singing

[@kino166]

I can feel shivers, I wonder how it feels to watch it in person, I would be overwhelmed. This woman is very good at what she does

[@meggieyuu]

my first time ever hearing it was live, and I think that definitely affected my perception. A video or a recording doesn't do justice to how the voice jumps through you and shakes your bones. I cried. even though I couldn't understand it at all at the time- the tears just jumped from my eyes and the emotion of the voice overwhelmed me

Not necessarily from what I've experienced... If anything, the older generations of both countries are bitter rivals while the more recent bunch don't really give a fuck and those that do are typically just gosiping away their lives out of lacking ambition, purpose or security in themselves. tbh I've seen more public hate from Korea than anything else though, I haven't cared much about this topic for a good couple of years as those that hate for the past in the present are either tired old farts or really...REALLY boring. (I'm sure there's exceptions of course, but TL;DR: not a lotta negative nationalistic cells these days)

[@grace-df1ol]

Public hate? From what I know, the Japanese government was the one who claimed Dokdo as their land and what Koreans are doing is defending their land and their culture. I agree that they shouldn't degrade the Japanese people and their culture, but I don't see how standing up for their land is called public hate.

트로트와 엥카는 둘다 조선의 민요에서 서양의 멜로디가 더해져서 20세기초중반에 태생한 현대음악이라고 할수있죠. 판소리는 조선 민요의 한 종류구요. 즉 판소리가 트로트와 엥카의 뿌리라고 할수있지요. 엄밀히는 트로트와 엥카의 뿌리는 판소리보다는 민요지만요. 초기의 엥카리듬을 정착시킨 코가 마사오라는 인물을 찾아보면, 조선에서 어릴적 살면서 조선민요의 영향을 상당히 받았음을 확인할수있지요 1920년대 코가 마사오(古賀政男)[3]가 혜성처럼 등장하여 '술은 눈물인가 한숨인가(酒は淚か溜息か)', '그림자를 사모하여(影を慕いて)' 등으로 시대를 선도한다. 당시 그의 노래는 특유의 멜로디 라인 덕분에 코가(古賀) 멜로디라고도 불렀다. 코가 마사오가 조선에서 학창시절을 보내면서 한국민요를 많이 즐겨들었는데 작곡가로 활동을 시작한 이후로는 엔카에다가 한국민요의 특징적인 요소를 결합하는 시도를 했고, 이러한 시도가 히트를 치면서 이 시기를 즈음하여 엔카가 한국 민요의 영향을 받게 되었다. 또한 이렇게 변형된 엔카가 일제강점기 조선으로 넘어가 알려지기도 했다. 출처:namu.wiki/w/%EC%97%94%EC%B9%B4

[@ultratwin]

True that men originally used to perform it and Jin Chae-Seon (1842 - ?) is considered to be the first professional woman sorikkun as trained by the legendary sorikkun Shin Jae-ho(1812-1884) from the age of 17. And it is said that her most famous performances were that of Chunhynagga and Shimcheongga. Regarding her connection to Chunhyangga, it was the first of the surviving epics to have a female-performance version developed in the 19th century. Note that the Chunhyang character is a person of legend (성춘향 or otherwise) based loosely on an actual 17th century historical figure...however, the Chunhyang person herself predates the development of pansori as a performance artform, so it is not correct to assert that chunhyang was a pansori performer.
