Gyeonggi Minyo refers to folk songs from Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Some of the pieces such as Gyeonggi Gin Japga (Long Miscellaneous Songs of Gyeonggi, also known as Gyeonggi Jwachang) are designated as important cultural heritage. Initially, Japga meant vulgar songs, as opposed to Jeongga (Classics) like Gagok (Lyric Song Cycles Accompanied by an Orchestra) or Gasa (Narrative Song), but today Japga has come to mean long pieces of vulgar songs that are sung seated.
The performance is free, but phone or online reservation is required.
