Featuring Shinparam and Ed Bok Lee

SHINPARAM is a Korean traditional drumming troupe of the styles known as "poongmulnori" and "samulnori." The poongmul style includes singing, dancing, acting, acrobatics, and the playing of many different folk instruments. Shinparam concentrates on developing members' ability with the four basic Korean percussion instruments: changgo, buk, jing, and kwenggari.

After first performing his poetry on the stages of the internationally-acclaimed Walker Art Center Out There series in 1993, ED BOK LEE has since 2000 featured his poems at hundreds of venues across the U.S., Europe and Asia, including schools, prisons, reservations, shelters, and clubs, as well as for radio and TV, including MTV World.
