Pansori is GREAT. some of the best music on the globe. one of the most agressive heart felt music there is. Korean music
is some of the best and always to me one of the best illustration of how ornament such as vibrato and pitch bending can be used tastefully. It surpasses the blues and i hear a lot of it is Partch's music, more than japanese or chinese.
