Free Gugak concert ticket from MANNAM

Lately, I got free-ticket from MANNAM for korean traditional music concert titled Heritage of Korea held in National Gugak(Korean traditional music) Center.
It's for foreigners to learn about Korea.

While seeing that, I wonder how they can play that song.
The presenter introduced korean music set ppl at ease, but i couldnt.

On the contrary i was nervous a little bit.
Cuz that song was off-beat. Well, it's totally different from the west.
They kept step with others' playing.
So I made errors in judging when exactly instruments sing. 
I couldn't assess whether they playing right traditional rhythm cuz I'm a outsider to gugak.

There's  so many space in note, and it make ppl tense with its space.

 

Anyway, the very impressive of the concert was Cheoyongmu (Dance of Cheoyong).

This is what Cheoyongga is about.

The wife of Cheoyong was so beautiful. So, a devil wanted to possess her.

And the devil did during Cheoyong's absence.

 

Wait.

What do you think he'll do when he finds out?

 

Cheoyong did a dance and sang a song.

The devil was so touched for what Cheoyong did.

And the devil made a promise he'll not harm ppl wherever Cheoyong's portrait is.

 

Our ancestors knew that the battle is not always to strong.

Similar to that, Gandhi carried out a movement of nonviolent resistance against British rule.

 

I wish my country be in a peace by a revolutionary idea from this confrontation with North Korea.
