 | | On Synnara's newest album, "Korea Pansori, East to West," pansori, or one-man narrative singing, is not performed with one drum as usual but on jazz instruments like the saxophone, drum, contrabass, trumpet, keyboard and percussion. |
 | | Lee Tae-gyu, a director of Synnara, who planned and supervised the project, said the new age recording of pansori was designed to give foreigners easy access to pansori music with the originality of the time-honored art kept intact. |
 | | The descriptions include a general explanation of pansori, such as its origin, nature and elements, and explanations about the pieces recorded. |
