Founded in 2003, OTTAPAE has introduced and promoted Korean traditional music and  culture in Ottawa through Pungmulnori. Pungmulnori is a type of Korean traditional folk  music that includes drumming, dancing, singing. Drumming is the central element of  Pungmul with 4 Korean traditional instruments, Janggu (double-headed hourglass drum),  kkwaenggwari (small handheld gong), buk (barrel drum), and jing (gong).  

 

Together with Canadian youth and adult members, we are passionate about sharing this  exciting and energetic art of Korean tradition.
