Samul-Nori is a percussion instrumental music which demonstrates a vibrant, powerful and dynamic rhythm, this was originally farmers' music. Samul-Nori represents the height of traditional Korean percussion music and lets you experience a taste of the Korean spirit itself. Four instruments are played in Samul-Nori(Samul means 4 music instruments, Nori means play): Kkwaenggwari, Jing, Janggu, and Buk.

The sounds represent either the sky or the earth. The metallic and clingy in timbre (Kkwaenggwari and Jing) symbolize the sky and the Janggu and Buk, due to the leather skins used to make the drums, stand for the thick and warm sound of the earth. Each of the four instruments has its own symbol representing an element of nature. The Kkwaenggwari represent lightning, Janggu rain, Buk clouds, and Jing wind. Played ensemble, the four instruments create a sheer balance and harmony in music, mirroring the Korean people's lives.
