p'ansori

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

p'ansori


(Korean; “story singing”)

A form of sung folk narrative. The form seems to have originated during the reign of Sukchong (1675–1720). Once a narrative performance that incorporated shamanistic chants, p'ansori became a vehicle for treating popular customs and everyday life. Six of the original 12 titles were revised by the master p'ansori writer Sin Chaehyo, of which five are still performed.
