Music of korea
Korean music has been heavily influenced by Chinese music, as evidenced by the existence of "tang-ak", which means music from China's Tang Dynasty. Traditional Korean music can be divided into court music called "chong-ak" and folk music called "sog-ak". Some traditional Korean instruments include the hourglass shaped drum "changgo", the two-stringed fiddle "haegeum", and the lap-played zither called "kayagum" which is played with bare fingers.
