Would you like to travel to South Korea?
\nVig\u00fcela would have gone to perform there for their first time…\u00a0 For now, it will have to be through the wire.<\/span><\/strong>

In the meantime, let me tell you a Korean tale\u00a0?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello, how are you? I hope well!<\/p>\n

This year Vig\u00fcela, like most of us, has lost the chance to do many wonderful things, like playing for the first time in Greece and to debut in South Korea. But, they will share a very special moment with the oustanding Jeonju International Sori Festival.\u00a0Enter our Facebook that day September 16th at about 12 noon (CET) to see us!\u00a0<\/strong>There will be 9 artists from different countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the promised\u00a0tale? Yes, yes, under the video ? and, before, a little bit of context:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The name of the festival comes from the tradition of Pansori.\u00a0What is Pansori? You might know already. Very brieftly, it is a collection of epic stories that are sung by one singer and accompanied only by subtle percussion. The percussionist pulls and responds in a very punctual manner. As you will see in the video below, the person singing also performs the song as an actor or actress. He or she carries a fan in the right hand and a handkerchief in the left, used to represent the objects that are been talked about.<\/p>\n

A small set of Pansori has been preserved, and there are five of them that are almost always sung. But keep in mind that each Pansori can last up to 5 hours! 5\ufe0f\u20e3 It is a very difficult art and there are artists who specialize in only one of the Pansori.<\/p>\n
