In doing so, they began a decades-long reinvention of tradition, one that would eventually create an entirely new genre of music and a national symbol for Korean culture. Nathan Hesselink's \u003ci\u003eSamulNori\u003c\/i\u003e traces this reinvention through the rise of the Korean supergroup of the same name, analyzing the strategies the group employed to transform a museum-worthy musical form into something that was both contemporary and historically authentic, unveiling an intersection of traditional and modern cultures and the inevitable challenges such a mix entails. Providing everything from musical notation to a history of urban culture in South Korea to an analysis of SamulNori's teaching materials and collaborations with Euro-American jazz quartet Red Sun, Hesselink offers a deeply researched study that highlights the need for traditions-if they are to survive-to embrace both preservation and innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47575552721047,"sku":"9780226330976","price":3949.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226330976.webp?v=1774898392","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/samulnori-contemporary-korean-drumming-and-the-rebirth-of-itinerant-performance-culture-with-cd-audio-9780226330976","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
