Formed in 1984, Dulsori, translated as "heartbeat of the land," is a performance group dedicated to promoting traditional Korean roots music through the collective process. With the goal to build harmony and community through each musical piece, Dulsori encourages the audience to participate in the performance, even offering workshops before and after performances. With vocals singing of the core human emotions of hatred, fury and fear, in addition to the group's characteristic steady drums, Dulsori brings the energy of ancient festivals to the stage.
