Korean for “the heartbeat of the land,” Dulsori captivates audiences with traditional Korean drumming and songs. Their infectious authentic rhythms awaken the human spirit. Inspired by the traditions of Korean farmers and using traditional, authentic instruments, their drumming is inspired by the sounds of nature and offer praise to natural forces.

A passionate celebration of the performers and audience, Dulsori’s performances evoke harmony along with a sense of community. The explosive and driving pulse of the percussion invites the audience to share in this collective energy. The company tours with a performance ensemble comprised of five-seven drummers, dancers, and singers.

Biography

Since 1984, Dulsori has taken the Korean percussive style known as pungmul to a whole new level. The performers use kkwaenggwari (small handheld gong), janggu (hourglass drum), buk (barrel drum), jing (gong) and numerous other authentic percussion instruments with astounding choreography to create a driving performance that inspires audiences.

Everyone's high-spirited energy mingles and the ensemble always invites the audience to literally join the show. Dulsori's energetic and passionate team has staged hundreds of international performances. With repeat performances at WOMAD programming throughout the globe, other recent performances include tours in Australia, Israel, Africa, and across Europe. The group also conducts workshops, classes, and festivals focusing on Korean traditional arts, open to all age groups.

In 2005, Dulsori UK Ltd was established as the first Korean arts company to have a branch in the UK. Their vision is to introduce high quality Korean arts and culture in Europe, as well as in the UK, while facilitating a clearer understanding across all cultures. The company presents creative, highly skilled, and passionate Korean percussion-driven performances. In January, 2008, Dulsori made its debut in the United States as a featured company at global FEST.
