* Pansori *
Pansori literally means songs at a place of entertainment as "pan" signifies the place of performance while "sori" means the sound.
But what exactly is a pansori? Its literal definition of songs at a place of entertainment isn't too clear.
Pansori is usually performed by two people, one person plays the drum while the other chants a song in a folk style. This song, however, is not like the songs that we enjoy today. Instead, the song resembles more of an epic or a narrative, that is quite lengthy at times, sung in a rhythmic fashion much like a folk song.

In contrast to the folk songs of China and Japan, those in Korea are characterized by their triple meter and dotted rhythms. Phrases are clearly arranged according to a rule, usually four measures to a phrase. The texts of the Korean folk songs vary according to the localities in which they are sung. According to different musical dialects, Korea is divided into three parts: central, northern and southern.
