P'ansori)
Pansori is a genre of Korean music. It is a vocal and percussional music performed by one soriggun(소리꾼; a singer) and one gosu(고수鼓手; a drummer).
Being popular in Korea during the 19th century, it featured satires and love stories. A full piece of story, madang(마당), is so long that it usually takes hours to complete. A madang consists of certain alterations of aniris(아니리; descriptive speech) and changs(창; song).
In the performance, a soriggun sings, standing with a folding fan held in one hand. It emphasizes his/her motions and is used to announce changes of scenes by unfolding it. A gosu gives rhythm not only by beats but also by chooimsae(추임새)s, verbal sounds. A chooimsae can be meaningless vowel but short words of encouragement are also given. The audiences also are supposed to give chooimsaes during the performance.
