[TheGerardiito]

It's Amazing

[knolly57]

Look at Shakira Did it Again X-Factor

[harcio]

I've seen this movie many times now and must say, I'm amazed every time! Is it hard to make living in Korea? Would love to move there, Asian culture was sth I always liked.

[kktbond777]

Soooooooo nice!!!! 정말 너무 너무 보기 좋고 멋집니다... 꼭 올해는 한국가서 실제로 한번 봐야징...

[jp5995]

3 people are North Koreans

[Richard4613Kim]

@jp5995 Actually that doesn't make sense because both of Korea plays the same music. You should've said 3 people are Japanese.

[SoundCopyist]

@jp5995 that's no matter. we're one before...Soviet, United State and Japan...they make us to seperate

[agathatuska]

Wow My God!! I´m Spanish and I have never seen a thing like this!!!! INCREDIBLE

[kuneary10]

Watching this for the 3rd time xD It's so awesome and amazing. I kept thinking of it as some fighting moves. Not trying to be rude or anything so please do not get offended.

[theuglybitchinsweden]

cool

[IrishKnight89]

I don't know but this makes me think of a lot of hard bop drummers. I know they had a lot of influence from many cultures. its cool to see how old these beats are.

[yubemful]

@IrishKnight89 It is a drum dance which is said to have been inspired by Buddhist monks dances and shamanistic rituals. These drum beats and dances weren't influenced by other cultures.

[IrishKnight89]

@yubemful Right I was saying I thought "Hard bop" drummers got some of their influence from this.

[ghoststrider45]

@yubemful

There are seperate Buddhist dances and Shamanistic dances in Korean culture with seperate drums as well. There's various of drums from 4 drums on one stick to drums like these.

[slapleatheru3]

Awsome!!

[asfreeas]

At the ending part of 2NE1's "I am the best" MV, you can see Samgo-mu in black.

Koguryo Empire

[Ardllan]

@goldenmunt

Koguryo wasnt an empire but a kingdom. And u must call it Goguri or Gogury.

[thepalacemaid]

@skyfiller12

I'm Chinese myself and an avid learner of Korean dance, esp. Sogochum. I'd just like to correct it is wrong to say China does not have a dance tradition, it might be just that it's so broad it's hard to define at once. Please read up more on the various dacne cultures of East Asia if you're interested in the subject!

[MrSlla222]

@zeechung0215 well if your korean you know what the clothes means. its that some are poor some are rich . so i guess not really fashion but who knows.

[ekdrmssama]

[MrSlla222]

[TheGainsbourg]

[elmasyera]

This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pilosopotato]

oooh it's like dance revolution with drums... i hope they make one like it... really nice this one

[viewthedr]

i'm Korean. Drum dance is very difficult. there are many dance group in korean now. But, high-class group is rare. the beat of drum cannot easily acquire.

[KAYAKoreanDance]

The girls are beautiful and graceful! I love this dance, everytime we perform and get the ending perfect I have a biiiiig smile on my face :D

[asadal123]

betttter than any Japanese or Chinese drums I've seen.

[miscellanea48]

Beautiful vidéo, I like very much !

Greetings from France.

Marie.

[renshumainichi]

You guys just aint seen me play taiko thats all, lol

[penguinskywalker]

How do they coordinate their moves? A conductor being for the most part, a Western invention, the secret must be practice, practice and more practice! What do you think they are trying to convey? This reminded me of the cycle of seasons.

[linitalips]

Wow like dancing between mirrors...

[otouchan100]

素晴らしい！感激しました

[dltmdwnfkdldjs]

[winterkks]

[uddong123]

the beat kinda gets boring after a few seconds.....

[ohmygosh89]

love it just love it!

[ohmygosh89]

i'm awed.... whoever thought of this must be a genius... proud to be Korean><

[ZarathuPower]

@ohmygosh89 What is also ingenious is the way Hanbok is designed, such a way that boobs don't pop up playing the drums.

[iedat1]

@ZarathuPower

hey sixty years korean . dance to the tune of this.

you son must say " dont stop. dont do that stupid things ,papa"

hey unleaned sixty years old koean.. dont leave shameful comment.

are you moron.

[ZarathuPower]

@idiot#1 is a japanese boy suffering from pyogenic brain.

[thepalacemaid]

@ZarathuPower

Unfortunately that's exactly the problem with Hanbok---anyone with boobs can't wear it, I had to have mine specially made with darts!! :(

[ZarathuPower]

@thepalacemaid Come to think of it, all the drumers don't seem to have big boobs and they are slender...I guess you can be the originator for designing Hanbok for drummers with big boobs, not just with darts. :-) Good Luck!

[cefanine]

WOW!!!! That' amazing. I guess this represent power too.

[pyjmanshae]

OOOOO MMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGG.

ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!!!

[angkor01]

Beautiful... drumming performance and performers.

[Avveh]

Holy. Crap. I... want to learn how to do that... so bad!!!

[ZarathuPower]

@Avveh I haven't seen any man playing that dance..are u a woman?

[Avveh]

@ZarathuPower Hahah, yes. I am a woman. I know that guy's don't do that dance. :P

[ZarathuPower]

@Avveh And you must be as pretty, slender and tall as they are...go for it!! It's an absolutely beautiful dance better learn as early as you can.

[TKDchick4life]

I saw this style of drumming live at an international festival, and i think it is one of the most beautiful and powerful things ever! I love the sound of drums in general, and I think this style is very interesting. I would love to get into it, but i'm not korean so i pretty much have no connections to get started....

oh well - for now i will just appreciate : ) amazing skills!

[Riotgirl93]

beautiful!

[MimzyMingiSakura19]

I saw this on korean TAN or MBC their was bunch of girls and guys doing the drums and everyone move excatly the same.

[leighannelawson]

Absolutely mesmerizing! Would love to see this in person!

[xkimmiesx]

amazing!

[missmcq]

This is very cool. Where could I order a set of these drums and stands?

[Marchingfreak123]

dammm im soo proud to be a korean :D

[Braddah06]

[wendolee1]

La mayor parte de las Artes Tradiconales de Corea, fueron hechas por las mujeres.

[Camimupe]

[moronga2007]

shakira's performance have this dance... I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!1

[robifox]

i know when i sow them on shakira film clip i was like WAT THA!! so effective

[rubyfire84]

I know! I just saw it the other day. Wonder where she got the idea to put Korean drummers into her vid.

[doidinha50]

@rubyfire84 Shakira was taking a class at UCLA and prob came into contact with LA Korean community. Her dancers are from LA.

[Bobber301]

@moronga2007 ME TOO i am korean and i see this type of drumming all the time and when i saw it in Shakira's music vid i was so amazed that she would think of putting that in her music vid

[KwNJn1]

@moronga2007 lol shakiras video brought me to this page

[aciranikaz]

i remember watching a performance in yongsan! it's such an experience when your in the audience!

[dogyearrex]

I saw the picture of my mom doing this when she was back in highschool... haha

[keeelaah101]

korean drum dance! coool!!!

[rate733]

it certainly moves the warrior spirit. wonderful!

[jusitke07]

These women are amazing. Yeah, uh Taiko drummers...eat your heart out. .

[Starfighter9397]

I agree, I love Taiko as well, but this style of drumming is just some of the best I've ever seen!

[seho]

u guys shouldnt compare diffrent clutures u know..

[Starfighter9397]

Good point seho. By "I agree" in the above comment I didn't mean to say one was better than the other, only that this particular performance really does this style of drumming justice. I have also seen outstanding Taiko performances that have left me equally amazed.

[jhonenlove]

@seho it's not good to compare yu're right, but sometimes, yu can't help but be patriotic when yu're korean and yu see this. not a lot of people are aware of the many arts that exists in korea whereas japan and china are popularly known and exposed. yu feel a bit of pride when yu see this because there's more to it than just entertaining movements, it's a traditional structure that dates back centuries.

[TheRivalConcept]

@seho well u can compare different cultures im sure u know chinese , japanese and korean cultures are all intertwined and sure they may take insperation from one country but make things thier own. but i think u cannot compare taiko drumming with samgomu as this is far more graceful and not so fearous like taiko. Taiko is far more u can agressive and furious than samgomu. My opinion :)

[oh7ohoh]

beautiful!!!

[geminiguy1970]

Impressive and astonishing, is it not?
