PURI

On last Friday, dated 5th July 2013, Korea Tourism Organization has invited me to watch the PURI performance. They were celebrating their 20 years of success. This show was held at National Theater of Korea.

This was one of the greatest traditional music that Korea offered, blended with other genres and styles, fusing together to produce new sounds and experiences to excite the ears and the mind.

 

For this amazing performance, free shuttle bus took audience from closet subway station to the venue. I was also among them who took free shuttle bus to the venue. The view of the National theater was great. On one side there was namsan (mountain), actually this place was on the way to the namsan tower.

The show start with amazing piano performance by one of the artist and main vocal while all other members were behind the steel screens and they hit those steel screens and eventually it comes out to be written PURI. Audience was not expecting this kind of surprise, everybody thought they are just hitting those screens to make sound.

 

 For me what was the interesting thing is the piano and guitar performances blended with traditional music. i am kind of person who loves piano and guitar simply modern music instrument more. So for me the reason for this performance and this group to be successful is the same that they mixed modern music with traditional music.

 

 The performance was so energetic and the artists play in rhythm putting so much energy for the audience to enjoy till the very last second. Audience request them to come once more to present another performance for them and they didnt reject their request. They played the drums and also danced a little while playing their instruments.
