- Kayagum Sanjo Variation (Korean; 가야금 산조), performed by Hwang Byeonggi (Korean; 황병기, 1935 ~ Present), in 1966.
Hwang Byungki (b. Seoul, 1936) is the foremost South Korean player of the gayageum, a 12-string zither with silk strings. Hwang is also a composer and an authority on Korean sanjo, a form of traditional Korean instrumental music.[1]
In 1951 he began playing gayageum at The National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts in Seoul, where he studied under the famous gayageum masters Kim Yeong-yun (김영윤), Kim Yun-deok (김윤덕), and Shim Sang-geon (심상건). In 1959 he graduated from Seoul National University School of Law.[2]
In 1962 he began composing concert and film music using traditional Korean instruments. He presented the premiere performance of Alan Hovhaness's Symphony no. 16 in South Korea in 1963. In 1964 he traveled around the world to Europe, the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries, giving gayageum performances in each place.
In 1985 he served as visiting professor of Korean Music at Harvard University.
Since producing his fifth gayageum album in 2007, Hwang continues to compose innovative Korean music. Ranging in style from the evocation of traditional genres to avant-garde experimentation, a selection of these pieces is available on a series of five albums. He is an emeritus professor of Korean music at Ewha Womans University. Hwang also teaches a course entitled "The Introduction to Korean Traditional Music" at Yonsei University in Seoul.
Hwang serves on the government's Cultural Properties Preservation Committee, and in 2000 was appointed to the National Academy of Arts.

The gayageum or kayagum is a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument, with 12 strings, although more recently variants have been constructed with 21 or other numbers of strings. It is probably the best known traditional Korean musical instrument.[1] It is related to other Asian instruments, including the Chinese guzheng, the Japanese koto, the Mongolian yatga, and the Vietnamese đàn tranh.

The footage was filmed by Dr. Robert Garfias, professor of Anthropology at the Social Sciences Department of University of California, Irvine (UCI) in Korea, 1966. You can visit his website, aris.ss.uci.edu... to see lots of other interesting World music recordings and films.

Thanks 12tone.
Yep, also came from him. The "Why Ben Shapiro is wrong about rap" video.
Both are evergreen videos. 👍

May his soul rest in peace.
If this was remixed. It could pass off as some kind of hip hop rap melody
Jahyu - Poor Sinnerman
"stand together" and "Sambakja" by Monsta X are hip hop songs with this instrument, besides, they have some music with Korean instruments (follow, Fantasia ft Tago, drum performers)
@@ZoeliA hell yes
Feels like travelling back in time with the traditional instrument, traditional costume, plus the fact this was filmed way back 1965. Kudos to the people who filmed this and then preserve the film to be uploaded in youtube and be watched by generations to come ❤❤
이것이 조선의 락이다
조선은.. 가야의 롹.
I don't know why, but I love that low, constant beat sound underneath the music so much. I wish I had enough musical know-how to name that thing. I just keep beating my finger to that little beat in the meanwhile
You were probably attracted by the monophony of the song, cause this is actually monophonic music.
@@laurachiriac1336 thank you so much for giving me that vocabulary. :D
it is a drum, in western music the sound would be called a bass drum or kick drum. also known as the “heartbeat” of a piece of music
Beat Instrument is called "Janggu(장구)"
I’ve heard it called Modal or Drone style. Try guitarists like Ali Farke Toure, Tinariwen, or Jr Kimbrough. Enjoy!
To my Indian years, it sounds like a fusion of sitar and santoor. Both of them string instruments. And the tune is somewhat similar to Indian ragas
There are some technical elements which are actually similar to South Indian classical (Carnatic music), tbh.
Yes, i have felt same to like that is Raga....
interesting. perhaps there is a relation?
I find it very interesting that you guys think this instrument is similar to sitar or other indian instruments, because this instrument --Gayageum- was played in ”Gaya”, one of the ancient Korean kingdoms.
And it is recorded in the history of Gaya that king who founded Gaya married to a Indian princess, who claimed to have came from a faraway kingdom called “Ayuta” (now Ayodhya) in India. It was believed that she sailed all the way to southern part of Korea at that time.
I don’t know if indian instruments and gayageum are corelated or not, but she and her retinue might have had the same feeling you guys had when they heard early version of gayageum. OR even better some ancient Indian instruments the princess carried with her might have affected the early version of gayageum greatly to a point that it sounds similar to sitar.
That’s interesting. I know the Tamil language and Korean share similarities
It's like winds are whistling within the forest! Truelly an expectacular music!
1:21 Wow, that really sounds like metal! I can easily envision that being the strong reverb of an electric guitar and fast paced drums
It's already in a song the tune he's playing so they just have heard this and used it.
역시 흥이 넘쳐나는구나
When I need peace, I turn to this magnificent melody. Heavenly sound.
Why are most traditional songs such damn BANGERS? [Of any culture I mean]
It's insane;
I think it's also important to note that you can hear a motif repeating over and over again, it's neat that people from all over the world'll have developed similar music styles and ideas - music is basically just language that everyone understands, I guess.
The SKILL tapping and nuance is unreal on a 6ft. Instrument.
To be able to listen to this live... I wanna cry now... live I would cry.
Absolutely wonderful...
beautiful!!!
he is a master craftsman

What is it how to tune into the Korean story!
Here from 12tone's video.
This dude's fingers are insane. It's no wonder Korean producers are still fire
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 굿,,!!!!!👍🇰🇷⚘
Good music Korean insurment
He is Korean
there are moments that remind me of delta blues
fantastic
LQQK, I don't know, Can anyone tell me this style of music, It reminds me so much of Heavy Metal, Love it.
stclairstclair Originally, its rythm and style came from Pansori (kind of Korean opera genre). It's also similar to jazz, in that its player improvises the melody.
stclairstclair Korean traditional music is much older music than heavy metal.
This is sanjo, instrument improvisation.
It’s monophonic, meaning one instrument playing one note at a time - common in many traditional music styles. I think the speed and the unique minor scales used are what give it its similarity to metal music.
Esas si son rolas pero de las GODS
So similar to Middle Eastern Qanoon and ‘Oud
Yeah yeah kanun
We are all here for mapeh tho
I’m gonna go ahead and call it. It sounds like Korean les claypool. This is Korean equivalent to primus
Sounds like something from Okami.
Jahyu - Poor Sinnerman
it sounds like a berinbau
Maqam Houseyni
its gayageum
This sounds a lot like the Turkish baglama

What's the name of the instrument?
Does it also have meaning?
Mahir Rahman In southern part of Korea from B.C 0 to A.D 500 Gaya dynasty existed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaya_confederacy
This instrument was from that country, so it is called 'Gaya' geum. Gaya was annexed to Silla dynasty, and this instrument was also spread.

Better than kpop
1966...Cultural Revolution
Mak Athena yeah many cultural things got destroyed in 1966, china. I guess Korea was fine at that time.
That was in China not Korea
Challenge korea
这不是中国古琴吗？
韩国伽夜琴(gayageum)不是古琴。
@@su_y3060 Being both a guqin and a gayageum player, I must disagree. Organologically, gayageum is similar/related to guzheng, though there is argument as to if gayageum was derived from guzheng, the same same way the Japanese koto was (from the Tang Dynasty/Nara Period), or it was developed independently. As far as I'm aware, the guqin never factored into it. You could argue that the geomungo rather was 'developed' from the guqin as they share similar lore and aesthetics though the playing technique and structure are very much different to one another, but even in that case they are bother structurally different.
Playing technique: although both qin and gayageum both play with bare fingers, there is only a very minor similarity between the two. Qin playing technique is raised, whereas gayageum is mostly prone. But the main difference is the left hand techniques: in qin you press down on the strings to the point of contact on the surface and slide up and down; gayageum you press it like you do with guzheng and koto and other moveable-bridged zithers.
