SamulNori is a group of dynamic musicians dedicated to performing and preserving tradtional Korean music and dance.

SamulNori, refers to the four musicians playing and dancing with four different types of percussion instruments; janggo, jing, buk and kkwaenggari. The origin of their music can be traced to what is usually referred to as farmers' band music, nong-ak and ceremonial music. The repertoire of SamulNori, also intergrates the influences of folk and religious music and their intricate rhythms have become quite uniquely distinctive.

In addition, the SamulNori Hanullim Performing Arts Troupe has become the most recognized Korean traditional performing arts roupe in Korea and abroad.
