Spring Festival in Seoul

The festival was in Insadong and started of with a concert on a temporary stage and then all the performers plus the "King", "Queen" and their "courtiers" paraded down the street. This group of young male drummers performed with a great deal of energy, gusto and polish. They were accompanied by a man playing a very raucous oboe, which sounds a little "mad".

This is a group of women drummers. This kind of group are always made up of women and they were accompanied by the "mad" oboe (seen on the left) and the two men banging small gongs (in the front). There are other drumming groups made up of men and women. Keumho Middle School has a group and they are very good. We love listening to and watching them perform. They always play with great energy.






We have no idea what "Gimhae for you" means.
